How does it know which ID ranges to use?

The skill reads the 'idRanges' property defined in your project's app.json file to ensure the allocated numbers stay within your specific licensing or project constraints.

Can I use this for separate test apps?

Yes, you can specify different AppPath parameters to point to either your main app folder or your test folder to get IDs from the correct context.

Does it handle commented-out object definitions?

Yes, the script is designed to ignore IDs that appear in commented-out sections of your AL files to ensure it only detects active, used numbers.

What happens if there are no IDs left in my defined range?

If the specified ranges in app.json are exhausted, the script will return a specific error code and message indicating that no free numbers are available.

Which object types are supported by this skill?

The skill supports a wide range of types including table, page, codeunit, report, query, xmlport, enum, interface, controladdin, and all extension types (tableextension, pageextension, etc.).

Automatically allocates the next available object ID for Business Central development by scanning project files and app configuration.

This skill streamlines Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central development by automating the tedious process of finding available object IDs. It parses the app.json file for defined ID ranges and scans existing .al files to detect currently used numbers, including filling gaps in existing sequences. By supporting all major AL object types—from tables and pages to extensions and interfaces—it ensures Claude can autonomously generate valid, conflict-free code for Business Central extensions without manual ID management or numbering conflicts.
