Difference Between FIELDCAPTION and Include Caption

Horia

In RDL reporting in NAV 2017 what's the difference in using FIELDCaption(MyTable.MyField) instead of Include Caption = TRUE in the Report Dataset Designer.

When should I use which one in which context, what's the be practice on this ?

I see that sometimes on some reports IncludeCaption is ticked to TRUE and sometimes fieldcaption is used, what's the design decision pattern on this ?

They are the same:
FIELDCAPTION is the old way (2009 R2 and older)
Include Caption = TRUE is the new way (2013 and newer)

Thank you, I was confused because in NAV 2017 (new way) they still use the old way,
like in Report ID 312 - Purchase Statistics there is
FIELDCAPTION("No.") and FIELDCAPTION(Name)

NavNab

Yes, that's because MS migrates the old standard reports (example 312;))
In the new reports (example 5935), MS uses the "Include Caption".

I believe the only use case for FIELDCAPTION in NAV 2013 and higher is documents (ie : sales invoice),
where you actually need to switch language caption within the same Dataset
