I am using version 8 platform update 15. Since the POS development is locked out and extensions only is allowed. There are some limitations and a number of objects are not accessible. I was trying to navigate to the customer search and allow the user to select a customer and return to the calling form. This was very challenging.

For a very long time, such descriptions were more or less fair as the platform was presented as a system…

There are some hotfixes that patch modules and packages which are only available on the "onebox" sandbox (Tier 1) environments. If you happen to add these hotfixes to your VSTS Main Branch, you will most likely end up trying to install these modules and packages on your Tier 2 (ie UAT) environments, and this deployment will most likely fail.
