Hi, Readers.
The public preview for Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 release wave 1 (BC26) is available. Learn more: Link.
I will continue to test and share some new features that I hope will be helpful.
View build metadata in Extension Management page:

With the introduction of the Source and Build properties in Business Central 2024 release wave 1, traceability of extensions created as part of DevOps pipelines was increased. It’s faster to find the relevant source repository, the commit ID, and build system used to create the extension. With Business Central 2024 release wave 2 and this new release, we’ve improved this experience by adding extra information that allows for easier identifying and resolving issues, as well as accessing and sharing information about extensions.
To help track extensions that are created as part of DevOps pipelines, Microsoft introduced the Source and Build properties in the app.json manifest file of extensions in Business Central 2024 release wave 1 (BC24). This allows you to easily find the relevant source repo, commit ID, and build system used to create the extension.
In Business Central 2024 release wave 2 (BC25), Microsoft added the ability to view Source information on the extension card in the Extension Management page.
With this wave (BC26), Microsoft also added the Build information. Let’s see more details.
Here’s an example of build metadata in app.json. This is normally set by the build process and not manually.
PS: You can learn more about the Source and Build information at Track source and build metadata on extensions.
The details card page for extensions in the Extension Management page now includes the build information. The Build information is composed of by for tracking the build agent and url, which is used to specify the URL to the build system invocation where the build can be found.
Great. Give it a try!!!😁
PS: If build information is not set in the app.json file, Build by will display the version number of the current AL Language extension. This is also very useful.
END
Hope this will help.
Thanks for reading.
