Changelog

1.88.0.0 2026-05-15¶

Requires Business Central 27.0

Add Definitions with Copilot/AI ¶

It is now possible to describe in natural language which fields, tiles and headlines you want to generate corresponding definitions for.

The Custom Fields, Headlines & Tiles Setup page has a new Add Definitions with Copilot action.

This opens a Prompt Dialog page, where a user can enter a prompt to describe which fields, tiles and/or headlines they want in natural language.

The Prompt Dialog page also has some examples to give insights into which kind of prompts you could use.
The Custom Fields Definitions, Custom Role Center Tile Definitions and Custom Headline Definitions pages also have a new Copilot action which open the same prompt dialog page:

Prompts can also be in different languages, but Copilot will automatically be instructed to make the definitions in English (and add translations for the user’s current language).

Please note that the use of this feature is subject to the Microsoft Copilot licensing and requires Copilot credits (some of which may be automatically available with your Microsoft licenses). When there are insufficient credits left, an error message will appear when you try to invoke the Generate action (just like for any other Microsoft Copilot-dependent functionality).

Explore and Apply Sample Packages ¶

The Custom Fields, Headlines & Tiles Setup and Custom Fields, Headlines & Tiles Setup Wizard pages have a new Explore Samples… action which allows you to explore sample definitions that you can download and/or directly apply.

From a package you can select and/or deselect definitions that you would like to apply (and there is also a convenient Include All and Exclude All action to more easily change the selection).

Max and Min with Different Aggregation Field¶

For the Max and Min calculation types you can now use an Aggregation Field different from the Value Field.

This allows one to achieve a definition like, for example, “The Description of the Item record with the largest Unit Price”. In this example, Description is the output value, while Unit Price is the field that is used to determine the record that has the maximum/minimum value.

Drill Down Hyperlink ¶

The Drill Down Behaviour setting for calculations now has a new Hyperlink option. When this is selected, you can provide a Web URL that will be opened when someone clicks on the calculated field/tile.

The Web URL can contain a placeholder %1. When this placeholder is used in the URL it will be substituted with the calculated value.

This can be useful, for example, when you want to navigate to an item's webshop page.

Unfiltered Setting¶

It is no longer mandatory to specify a Filter Set for a calculation.

If you want to aggregate over all records in a table, then you can now set the new Unfiltered setting to TRUE.

Copy as Subcalculation Action¶

You can now copy a calculated field/tile definition as a new Subcalculation record using the new Copy as Subcalculation action on the definition card page.

Filter with FlowFilter Values¶

You can now use a FlowFilter fields as the value to filter on.

1.86.2.0 2026-05-04¶

Fixed Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Runtime.NavVariant variable not initialized. error that could occur when posting a document with a calculated field to a posted document table with a normal field for which the calculated value is blank.
The Custom Lookup Setup's new Validate setting was missing in the Export/Import functionality. This has been fixed.

1.86.0.0 2026-04-10¶

Initial Value Setting¶

The Initial Value setting on the Custom Fields Definitions page allows you to set up an initial value that is used for custom fields when a new record is created.

You can also use (filter) tokens, e.g., use WORKDATE as the Initial Value field value to have the custom date field value of new records get initialized with the user's work date.

Please note that this new setting requires the Custom Fields Pro subscription.

Code Field Relation Validation¶

A new Validate setting has been added to the Custom Lookup Setup page for custom Code fields.

This setting allows you to control whether the values that are entered in the field are validated, i.e., whether a check should be performed that entered values are one of the valid values.

DateTime Filter Tokens for Calculation Filters¶

New DateTime filter tokens have been introduced that can be used to filter on DateTime fields.

For example, you could enter the following filter string to filter a DateTime field:

DATE_STARTOFYEAR TIME_STARTOFDAY..WORKDATE NOW

which translates to "Any date/time between the start of the current year up until now (based on the user's work date)".

For more information, please see the Calculations - Filter Set section of the user manual.

Other changes in 1.86.0.0¶

Fixed: Change the primary key fields (e.g., ID) of a custom field or role center tile would not update the underlying:
- Custom Lookup Setup records
- Field Setup records
- Conditional Style records
(Technical description: Fixed missing OnRename logic)
Better error message when users forget to complete the setup of a calculated field on the Sales Line table and then for example try to post a sales order.
Allow larger number of Decimal places for Constant Value (Decimal) setting for subcalculations.

Details: Previously, the setting didn't have the DecimalPlaces property explicitly specified, which resulted in that the BC default is used (i.e., 0:2). This effectively meant that the UI wouldn't allow you enter a value with more than 2 decimal places. This has been changed so that the maximum number of decimal places that BC supports for storage can be used (which is 18).
When you delete a custom field that has values in posted table records, it is now possible to clear their values.
Fix for: "Get Receipt" / "Get Shipment" / "Get Return Receipt" / "Get Return Shipment" takes custom field values from posted line instead of original document

1.84.0.0 2026-03-16¶

Custom Headlines¶

With the Custom Tiles & Calculated Values product it is now possible to configure custom headlines on Business Central role centers that can be targeted at specific users/user groups and specific dates/times.

You can have custom messages with placeholder values that are substituted by a custom-defined calculated value (which utilizes the same calculation logic that is also used by Role Center Tiles).

For more detailed information about this new feature, please see the Headlines section in the user manual.

Other changes in 1.84.0.0¶

Possibility to import and export custom field definitions, role center tile definitions, and headline definitions via the Custom Fields Setup page.

See the Export/Import section for more information.
"Get Receipt" / "Get Shipment" / "Get Return Receipt" / "Get Return Shipment" takes custom field values from posted line instead of original document
Automatically transfer calculated field values from non-posted documents to normal field values of posted documents (e.g., Sales Line to (Posted) Sales Invoice Line)
Possibility to filter on a flowfield in the calculations used by custom tiles and calculated custom fields

1.82.0.0 2026-02-09¶

Composite Calculations¶

A major functionality update to the Custom Tiles & Calculated Values functionality is now available. It is now possible to configure composite calculations which use Subcalculations to calculate the end-result.

The new supported composite calculation types are the following:

Calculation Type	Description
Addition	Adds the numeric values resulting from 2 subcalculations.
Subtraction	Subtracts the numeric value resulting from one subcalculation from the numeric value resulting from another.
Division	Divides a numeric value from one subcalculation by a numeric value from another subcalculation.
Multiplication	Multiplies a numeric value from one subcalculation by a numeric value from another subcalculation.
Comparison	Compares two values (resulting from subcalculations) to one another to yield a boolean result value.
Conditional	Calculates one of two subcalculations depending on a condition (whose value is calculated by a boolean subcalculation)

With these new configuration capabilities you can compose advanced calculations, e.g., adding a "Revenue Growth" tile on the Customer List page or on your rolecenter(s).

Note that when you click/drill-down on a composite calculation field value, a Composite Drill-Down Dialog will open where you can get more insights into how the calculation is performed and its corresponding subcalculation result values.

Here is a small demonstration of what happens when you click on a field/tile based on a composite calculation:

Fixed an issue where the underlying table record for the Custom Tiles rolecenter cardpart would not be properly initialized, which would lead to tile values not getting properly updated on role centers.

1.76.2.0 2025-10-20¶

Updated initialization logic for Select Custom Fields action of the Apportunix Document Creator Dataset Extensions feature.

1.76.0.0 2025-10-17¶

Custom Tiles & Calculated Values¶

A major functionality update to the Calculated Values functionality is now available. The product/subscription has been rebranded from Calculated Values to Custom Tiles & Calculated Values.

Custom Tiles on Role Center Pages¶

Using the Custom Role Center Tile Definitions page, you can now configure custom tiles for all default Business Central role center pages with custom-defined calculations.

For detailed documentation, please see the Role Center Tiles section of the user manual.

Custom Tiles FactBox¶

All entities supported by Custom Fields can now also show custom calculated fields with one of the following display types:

Display Type	Description
Page Field	The custom field is shown on the card page as a field.
FactBox Field	The custom field is shown in the Custom Tiles factbox as a factbox field.
Tile	The custom field is shown in the Custom Tiles factbox as a tile/cue.
Page Field and Tile	The custom field is shown in the Custom Tiles factbox on the card and/or list page as a tile and on the card page as a field.

Background Calculation¶

Custom calculated fields and tiles are calculated in the background, which brings the following benefits:

If you have custom calculated field values that take a longer time to calculate, then you do not need to wait for the calculation(s) to finish before you can continue. When the background calculation is finished the fields/tiles are updated automatically.
If an error occurs in the calculation of a custom calculated field, then this does not block/bother you from continueing to work in Business Central.

Customize Field/Tile Drill-Down¶

You can now customize the Drill-Down of custom calculated fields/tiles.

Conditional Styling/Colors¶

You can now change the color of tiles/field values when they meet certain filter conditions using Conditional Styles configurations.

Customize Decimal Formatting¶

You can now customize the Decimal Formatting of custom calculated fields/tiles.

Negate Value¶

For Boolean, Decimal and Integer (Number) fields you can negate/invert the calculation result value by enabling the Negate Value setting on the Field Setup page.
