IMPORTANT: A few known issues – still pending to release in preview

• Deploying extensions from Visual Studio Code with install or upgrade code units fails on cloud sandboxes:

There is a current issue with permissions when trying to deploy and execute install and upgrade code from Visual Studio Code to a cloud sandbox. This will also imply that this code cannot be debugged. Mitigation in preview is deploying through extension management page or working on a docker container.

• A number of high impact report extension fixes are not in the preview:

These include that using dataitem columns with quoted names with spaces will result in runtime resolve errors, that triggers in request pages and the report extension itself are not working, that attempting to use CurrReport.Quit in a report extension results in a crash, and that referencing local variables in request page extension triggers or procedures raises error diagnostics.
