Default parameters can be wrapped In extension classes COC


Default parameters can be wrapped In extension classes




In Build-8.1 you can override the default parameter by using class extension COC.


Code reference 

There is the method in HCMWORKER table isEmployee in which you can see the default value set with _validFrom & _validto.


  public HcmIsEmployee isEmployee(
        utcdatetime   _validFrom = DateTimeUtil::utcNow(),
        utcdatetime   _validTo = _validFrom
    )
    {
        HcmIsEmployee   hcmIsEmployee = NoYes::No;
        HcmEmployment   hcmEmployment;
        unchecked(Uncheck::XDS)
        {
            if (prmisDefault(_validFrom) && prmisDefault(_validTo))
            {
                select firstonly RecId from hcmEmployment
                where hcmEmployment.Worker == this.RecId
                &&    hcmEmployment.EmploymentType == HcmEmploymentType::Employee;
            }
            else if (_validFrom == _validTo)
            {
                select firstonly ValidTimeState(_validFrom) RecId from hcmEmployment
                where hcmEmployment.Worker == this.RecId
                &&    hcmEmployment.EmploymentType == HcmEmploymentType::Employee;
            }
            else
            {
                select firstonly ValidTimeState(_validFrom, _validTo) RecId from hcmEmployment
                where hcmEmployment.Worker == this.RecId
                &&    hcmEmployment.EmploymentType == HcmEmploymentType::Employee;
            }

            if (hcmEmployment.RecId != 0)
            {
                hcmIsEmployee = NoYes::Yes;
            }

            return hcmIsEmployee;
        }
    }


So we created extension class of Hcmworker with name of Demo_Extension and override the method using COC.



[ExtensionOf(tableStr(HcmWorker))]
final class Demo_Extension
{

    public HcmIsEmployee isEmployee(
        utcdatetime   _validFrom,
        utcdatetime   _validTo 
    )
    {
        HcmIsEmployee   hcmIsEmployee = NoYes::No;
        HcmEmployment   hcmEmployment;
      
        next isEmployee(_validFrom,_validTo);

               unchecked(Uncheck::XDS)
        {
           if (_validFrom == _validTo)
            {
                select firstonly ValidTimeState(_validFrom) RecId from hcmEmployment
                where hcmEmployment.Worker == this.RecId
                &&    hcmEmployment.EmploymentType == HcmEmploymentType::Employee;
            }
            else
            {
                select firstonly ValidTimeState(_validFrom, _validTo) RecId from hcmEmployment
                where hcmEmployment.Worker == this.RecId
                &&    hcmEmployment.EmploymentType == HcmEmploymentType::Employee;
            }

            if (hcmEmployment.RecId != 0)
            {
                hcmIsEmployee = NoYes::Yes;
            }

            return hcmIsEmployee;
        }
    }

}

Now perform build & Sync on your module..

New Module in Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations


New Module in Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations



Following are the Steps of Implementation:

Step-1 Create Extension of MainMenu.

Reference screenshot:

Step-2 Create new Menu and add two sub menu in it. enter label as per your requirement.

In demo I Use Name of new menu as FieldManagement
Reference screenshot:

Set Label
Reference screenshot:

Add new Sub-Menu
Reference screenshot:


Step-3 Create Menu reference in MainMenu Extension and set the reference of FieldManagement.
Reference screenshot:

Set reference of FieldManagement
Reference screenshot:


Step-4 Create Display method or Action or Out-Put as per your requirement.
set proper label and make it part of your sub-Menu of FieldManagement.

In demo we used display method 
Reference screenshot:


Set Display menu
