CalcFields and CalcSums auto-complete/Intellisense stops working after the first two fields, i.e. broken on third onwards

[dzzzb]

Try typing this out. You'll see that the first two fields in each call offer autocomplete suggestions from the table, but the rest don't. Very irksome!

Please check if other functions are affected by this limitation too. Thanks :-)

        GLEntry.CalcSums("Debit Amount", "Credit Amount", Amount, "VAT Amount");

        Customer.CalcFields(Balance, "Balance (LCY)", "Balance Due", "Balance Due (LCY)");
        Customer.CalcFields("Balance Due", "Balance Due (LCY)", Balance, "Balance (LCY)");

@kalberes In what way is this not a bug? Is VS Code the problem, not the AL extension?

[kalberes]

In every way it is a "bug" in the AL language server. The only change is that we may not mark issues as bugs. Rather we would triage them, and if accepted we will fix them. Nothing has changed but some terminology.

The fix for this issue has been checked in to the master branch. It will be available in the bcinsider.azurecr.io/bcsandbox-master Docker image starting from platform build number 22.0.46839.0 and VS Code Extension Version 11.0.683951.

If you don’t have access to these images you need to become part of the Ready2Go program: aka.ms/readytogo
