AL-Business Central Version Increment

This Visual Studio Code extension provides commands to automatically update the version number in the app.json file of your AL project for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It simplifies version management by incrementing the Major, Minor, Build, or Revision version numbers with a single command.

  • Update Minor Version: Increment the minor version and reset build and revision numbers to 0.
  • Update Build Version: Increment the build version and reset the revision number to 0.
  • Update Revision Version: Increment the revision version.

These commands can be accessed via the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS).

  • Visual Studio Code version 1.100.0 or higher.
