BC Friday Tips #68 Always Use Field Validation

Field Validation

Happy Easter 🐣 ! BCFridayTips is here for msdyn365bc developers!

💡Did you know you should always validate fields?

In the BC extension model, other apps can subscribe to field validation.
If you bypass validation, you skip trigger logic.

The field may look correct.
But the related data is not.

You can create hidden bugs that are hard to trace.

Why validate?
➡️ Ensures all business logic runs
➡️ Prevents silent data corruption
➡️ Respects integration with other apps

There are valid exceptions, such as :
✅Temporary records
✅Test and mock data

⚠️ Using AI to write code?

Always review what your agent generates.
It may assign values directly without validation. 
Trust, but verify.
