Simple metadata query in Powershell (D365FO)

Posted by Martin Dráb on 30 October 2020, 8:03 am

If I need to extra metadata of a D365FO application, my preferred way is the new metadata API. But sometimes the requirement is so simple that it’s sufficient to query source XML files directly. For example, this all what’s needed to get a list of fields from a table (together with their types) and store …

Finding display methods in D365FO

Posted by Martin Dráb on 28 August 2020, 9:34 am

Somebody asked in the Community forum for examples of display methods in views in the standard D365FO application. It’s not necessary to remember any concrete examples – finding all such methods is very simple. The right tool for this purpose is Metadata search.

UtilElements in AX 7

Posted by Martin Dráb on 29 February 2016, 6:34 pm

In older versions of Dynamics AX, you can get information about AX application objects (metadata) through system “tables” such as UtilElements. This doesn’t work anymore in AX 7. These tables still exist, but they don’t have any data, therefore you have to migrate to another solution. AX 7 comes with a rich framework for metadata, …
