#flowfields
Are you afraid of filters on FlowFields in AL? Well... There is definitely a reason to be cautious. But it may not be as bad as it seems, and certainly not as bad as some other methods which are used to avoid these filters.

Filtering on FlowFields
It has been said so many times that filtering on FlowFields is bad for performance that we are used to avoiding this kind of filters in AL at all costs. So whenever a developer needs to select a subse...

Working on a racing game, using splines with an interpretation of flowfields for general navigation and track data to drive the ai car rigs. Can't decide if I've made an over complicated mess, or super cool efficient code. Either way it looks pretty. 💥💥🤯 #gamedev #indiedev #impostersyndrome

Why should we even specify field types on flowfields or fields with a complete table relation, it's redundant information.

Thanks for that hard work. Just an FYI we completely corrupted our database on v25 by in a minor update of our PTE enabling fulltextsearch on text fields including lookup flowfields. This was not prevented by compiler but damaged database so badly we can’t upgrade PTE or appsource apps. So beware!

I plotted the black lines between the squares first, then the flowfields for the black squares

Hmm... I'm terrible at counting... 565 seems like a better number :) (Number of flowfields in #msdyn365bc)

This is not a large amount of data, where exactly do you get slowdowns and are you positive that those two flowfields are the cause?

Business Central Tip: Search doesn't match values in images, BLOB fields, FlowFilters, FlowFields, and other fields that aren't part of a table.

OptimizeForTextSearch Property in #msdyn365bc:

Whereas the docs (learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynami...) correctly state that the property works for normal fields and tables only, the runtime still lets you assign it to FlowFields, FlowFilters and temp. tables.
This will be blocked for BC 26.
OptimizeForTextSearch property - Business Central
Include the field in the optimized text search index to allow faster search in the UI.

We brought a control theoretic perspective to understand what kinds of readouts/behaviors are easy to learn and generate. We can differentiate desired neural _trajectories_ based on alignment with underlying flowfields and controllability, even when all trajectories lie in the same subspace.

I agree. They also do not address how to then make search usable in lists where lookup flowfields are used. Will it be enough that underlying table has that attribute for example?

That you cannot ask developers to add flowfields everywhere 😂

Been playing with flow fields in processing. Could watch these wee rivers flowing around interacting with the terrain for ages. #creativecoding #flowfields #generativeart

Wrapping my poor wee brain around normal map driven flowfields…
