QuickFix -16:[Solved] ComputedFieldMethod: Method return type of 'ExtendedDataType' is invalid; expected values(s): 'String'

While adding a computed field and creating a method for the same, getting below error for method. 

ComputedFieldMethod]:Method return type of 'ExtendedDataType' is invalid; expected values(s): 'String'

Solution: You need to double-check the method signature and it must look like below

public static server str myCal()

    {

        str mycal;

//Business logic

        return mycal;

    }

Power automate loopback issue

Hello There, 

Power automate is a really powerful tool for integration requirement in Dynamics 365 FO, I have been using power automate for a long time by now. Recently faced an issue while trying to call a D365FO trigger, the system was calling twice. While contacting MS, they have suggested the below hotfix to apply to the target FO environment. That worked for me. 

Happy to share the details in this post,  Login into your LCS account, select the project. Now go to the Issue search tool and search by KB 4556115, you should get the below details. 

Pl, note while creating a deployable package, double-check your environment version from where you are creating this package and the target environment version.
