Question

Drag and Drop Question A company has a model-driven app. The app must meet the following requirements: - Prevent users from saving a record if validation from a custom action fails. - Query and update a list of records. You need to configure processes for the app without using code. Which processes should you use? To answer, drag the appropriate processes to the correct requirements. Each process may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Explanation

This question tests knowledge of Power Platform process types available in model-driven apps and which tool is appropriate for record-save validation versus bulk data operations - both without writing code.

Approach. Business process flow (BPF) is the correct choice for requirement 1 because BPFs can include action steps that invoke custom actions synchronously within the model-driven app UI; if the custom action returns a failure, the BPF blocks stage progression and prevents the record from being saved - all without code. Cloud flow is correct for requirement 2 because Power Automate Cloud flows natively support Dataverse connectors with List Rows and Update Row actions, making them purpose-built for querying and updating collections of records in bulk. Classic workflow is a distractor here: while real-time (synchronous) classic workflows can block saves, they cannot directly call modern custom actions in the same no-code way, and they are being deprecated in favor of the other two options.

Concept tested. Microsoft Power Platform process selection: matching Business Process Flow (BPF with action steps for validation-gated saves) and Cloud Flow (Dataverse bulk record operations) to the correct no-code requirements in a model-driven app context.
