Consider naming field with a more descriptive name

This rule will suggest to give certain fields a more describing name on pages of type API for these fields;

  • id for field Rec.SystemId
  • number for field Rec."No."
  • displayName for field Rec.Name

Additional it will look for other "No." fields, like

  • customerNumber for field Rec."Customer No."
  • maximumNumberOfAttempts for field Rec."Maximum No. of Attempts"

AZ AL Dev Tools

The alOutline.apiFieldNamesConversion setting of the AZ AL Dev Tools/AL Code Outline can assist with assigning fieldnames.

"alOutline.apiFieldNamesConversion": [
        {
            "searchRegExp": "^no$",
            "newValue": "number"
        },
        {
            "searchRegExp": "No$",
            "newValue": "Number"
        },
        {
            "searchRegExp": "^systemId$",
            "newValue": "id"
        },
        {
            "searchRegExp": "^systemModifiedAt$",
            "newValue": "lastModifiedDateTime"
        }
    ],
