Here’s a little job that helped me resolve issues related to user settings in AX. It copies user settings / usage data from one user to another. Usually when a user is having an issue with a specific form the first thing to do is delete all usage data related to that form. In case you want reproduce that issue yourself you need to copy the settings from that user, so I wrote a little job that does just that.
