Information Sharing: Microsoft have changed the policy for prefix/suffix registrations for Business Central apps for AppSource

Hello everyone.
Yesterday I saw a notice from Mr. Freddy Kristiansen that Microsoft have changed the policy for prefix/suffix registrations for Business Central apps for AppSource.

MS Docs:
Benefits and Guidelines for using a Prefix or Suffix

General rules

The prefix/suffix must be at least 3 characters

The object/field name must start or end with the prefix/suffix

If a conflict arises, the one who registered the prefix/suffix always wins

For your own pages/tables/codeunits, you must set the prefix/suffix at the top object level

For pages/tables in the base application or other apps that you extend, you must set the prefix/suffix at the top object level and also at the control/field/action level

Use the AppSourceCop tool to find all missing prefixes and/or suffixes. Configuration options for this tool can be found here. The Rules section explains the different checks that the analyzer will do. For prefix/suffix detection, refer to the Configuration section. It explains how to set your prefix in the AppSourceCop.json file.

PS: How to use the AppSourceCop tool.
First, enable Code analysis in settings.json.

Then, create “AppSourceCop.json” setting file and set your prefix or suffix in it.

After you save, the prefix or suffix will automatically be checked.

If you want to understand Code analysis in Business Central, you can refer to the following blog. (Japanese)

Hope this will help.

Thanks.
