Dynamics 365 for Operations has great support for implementing pure add-on solutions. A pure add-on solution is extending the existing functionality using non-intrusive extension points.
In the Dynamics AX era implementing non-intrusive solutions was near impossible. My decade old Channel 9 video on Smart customizations is recommending being as little intrusive as possible. |
That is still good advice, and it turns out that we now can be significantly less intrusive. A lot of new extensibility features have been added. This series of blog posts will explore these.
Why does it matter?
When a solution is implemented using extension points only, then the solution’s cost of maintenance drops significantly:
- The code conflicts that are typically experienced during code upgrade seize to exists.
- The compilation time is reduced by magnitudes,
- The package size is reduced.
Some terminology
A good citizen is referring to a well-behaved extension, that can live side-by-side with other extensions using the same extension point. The opposite is a bully, they claim the extension point for themselves, and are at risk of colliding with other solutions.

More to come soon – stay tuned.
