IdRanges by Object Type in App.json

[Vibaek]

I have an OnPrem Customer solution with multiple extensions that all should fit within Customers purchased Object ranges.
Typically you do not have as many Table object as Pages/Report etc.

Example:
50 Tables and Codeunits available + 100 Pages and Reports available in Customer Licens.
"Ext A" needs 40 Tables and 50 Pages. "Ext B" and "Ext C" both needs 5 tables each, total og 50 tables.

IdRanges in App.json :
"Ext A" : 50.000 - 50.050 OK
"Ext B" : 50.050 - 50.059 (No tables available !)
"Ext C" : 50.060 - 50.069 ( No Tables available !)

How should I handle this Issue - IdRange by Object Type would be an option ?

I know one solution could be to re-assign some Object ranges in the Customer License, but some Types as Reports are locked from 50.000 - 50.099 as a result of licens conversion from older NAV versions.

For consideration i will add:

If u have 20 tables and 100 pages in a extension, u can just:
add a range of 20 items (and dont use more than 20 pages/pagesext/report)
OR
add 100 items and without the programmer knowledgement, the app will give an error to the client when the client try to use the 21,22,23... tables.

This problem would be solved with the suggestion above:
making a range for tables 1..20 and another range for other items 1..99

Best regards!
