Though above warning was informed by MS long time back but it has introduced in latest version of AL.

With the update of new version of AL extension this warning is populated in AL code.

Once you update above AL language version then you will find below warning

Now this warning will become error in near future that means we need to correct it anyhow . If your app contain more than 100 pages then it will be too much efforts to make it manually and tedious task.

Just have look at the following file

Now run above command and relax as it will fix the warning in all pages.

Result of the file after running command

It will fix the all warning in all the files.

The ID Range ‘[50000..99999] is not valid : Business Central

Today morning I update AL extension with the latest version as below

After update I found following issue for Per Tenant app and was not able to find any clue for this issue

To resolve the issue decided to roll back to latest update and it works fine but it is not giving the latest updates for AL

Then I decided to ask our beloved community

MVP https://twitter.com/ajkauffmann gave the solution to resolve this

Actually I was doing mistake in App Source Analyzer that I enabled both AppsourceCop and PerTenantExtensionCop for PerTenant App which was not correct

This is actually not correct because we need enable code analyzer like

If developing App within Certified App range (70M) then enable AppsoureCop and if developing app for Tenant then enable PerTenantExtensionCop.

This resolve my issue.

Hope this will help you..
