VS Code - Extension -> modify existing codeunit

idonav

Hi,

Let's say I would like to develop an extension using VS code and AL that requires me to modify an existing codeunit.

What is the approach to this and how is this done? Is this even possible? How does the syntax look like?

Extending a table and a page is simple, but how should I handle codeunits? I have a couple of thoughts and ideas, but those would require me to modify (potentially) standard codeunits in one way or another. (Even if just to trigger an event that I have subscribed to.)

Thoughts?

no, we cannot change codeunits
we need to request publishers from MS and use those publishers in our subscribers and modify.
you need to request for publishers in GitHub

Thanks. It does makes sense, but it also raises questions. (For another time though).

Now I know at least!
