    // Layout requirement (can't be enforced in AL, so it's stated here):
    // the Barcode column's text box must use the real, purchased font
    // name - IDAutomationHC39M for Code 39 - never an evaluation name
    // like "IDAutomationSHC39M Demo". Per Microsoft Learn, using the
    // evaluation name in a Business Central online production
    // environment means "the barcode won't render" at all.
