I saw that Microsoft is changing standard Option fields into Enum, should we also be able to do it? For Example: in BC25 Could version we have Sales Header field “Document Type” = Enum “Sales Document Type”:

This is clearly an old field that before was an option and now is an Enum. But it hase same id(=1). If I open the sales order, and use Ctrl+Alt+F1, is still option as it was originally.

I have this Question:  If this is a breaking change, replacing Option type of existing custom fields, with Enum type directly into existing fields, then why Microsoft is doing it? 🙂

PS I also found an AL extension.

If you check this link, in the final printscreen it’s replacing existing Option with Enum 🙂

What do you think about this?
