What happens if the ID range is full?

The skill checks range availability via the API; if no IDs are left in the specified ranges, it will report that no ID is available, alerting you to update your app.json or request a new range.

Can I use this for TableExtensions and EnumExtensions?

Yes, it includes specialized logic for extensions. It uses your project's specific idRanges for extension fields and values to ensure they are assigned from your licensed range rather than the default range.

How does this skill find the correct ID range?

It automatically reads the idRanges property from your project's app.json file to ensure all allocated IDs stay within your allowed boundaries for the specific application.

Do I need a specific API key to use this?

Yes, you need an API key from your administrator. This can be stored in a local config.json file (~/.al-id-manager/config.json) or as an environment variable (AL_ID_MANAGER_API_KEY).

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the allocation of unique object and field IDs for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central development.

This skill streamlines the development workflow for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central by automatically fetching the next available unique identifiers for new AL objects, table fields, and enum values. By reading project configuration from app.json and interacting with a centralized ID management API, it prevents ID conflicts in multi-developer environments, enforces defined ID ranges, and ensures consistency across table and enum extensions without the need for manual tracking or spreadsheets.

Key Features

01Real-time validation of ID availability and range adherence

02Automatic parsing of app.json for application IDs and designated ID ranges

03Support for both local configuration files and environment variable credentials

040 GitHub stars

05Automated ID retrieval for all AL object types including tables, pages, and codeunits

06Context-aware ID allocation for table fields and enum values within extensions

Use Cases

01Creating new AL objects within a specific project's licensed ID range

02Preventing ID collisions in collaborative team-based Business Central app development

03Adding new fields to table extensions or values to enum extensions using central tracking
