The correct answer is B. No. A Power Automate flow with an 'Update a row' action does not meet the goal because flows execute asynchronously and cannot guarantee real-time, synchronous updates to a Status column in a model-driven app.

Question

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. A company uses a model-driven app. The company needs to automatically update the Status column in real time. You need to configure this feature. Solution: Create a flow that has an Update a row action. Does the solution meet the goal?

Why each option

A Power Automate flow with an 'Update a row' action does not meet the goal because flows execute asynchronously and cannot guarantee real-time, synchronous updates to a Status column in a model-driven app.

AYes

This solution does not meet the goal because Power Automate flows are inherently asynchronous and cannot update the Status column synchronously in the same transaction as the triggering action.

BNoCorrect

Although 'Update a row' is the correct Dataverse connector action in Power Automate (unlike 'Update item' which targets SharePoint), Power Automate flows still run asynchronously in the background after the triggering event. This means there is a delay between the trigger and the column update, which does not satisfy the real-time requirement. A synchronous classic Dataverse workflow is needed for true real-time updates.
