[AL] 'OnNextRecord' is not a valid trigger

[malue19]

Hey guys, I am trying to create a trigger in my extension, but VSC shows me, that my trigger is not a valid trigger...
Does anybody know, how to solve this?

Hi @malue19, can you provide us with the following information so that we can start investigating your issue?

Which version of the compiler are you using?
What is the error you are getting?
On which type of object are you using this trigger?

The OnNextRecord Trigger can only be used on pages and request pages.

Hi @qutreson,

The error message I get is:
[AL] 'OnNextRecord' is not a valid trigger local trigger OnNextRecord(Steps: Integer): Integer

The object I would like to extend is not a standard object of NAV, it is a page of my own extension.

The version of the AL Language Package I am using is 0.16.19969.

It is currently not possible to use this trigger on a page extension. It can currently only be used from a page or a request page object.

We will use this issue to track this issue if we consider making this trigger available from page extensions in the future.

In the meanwhile, what you can do, is create an event in the base page and raise this event in the OnNextRecord trigger on the page. Then, you can subscribe to it from your extension and re-use it there.

As a clarification: it is not possible to use the OnNextRecord trigger on base product pages (i.e. Customer Card), as the only way to modify these resources is through page extensions or event subscribers.

Any progress on this? We need this in our extension in v14.
