✍️ Sample PL 400 Questions & Answers

1. A developer needs to run custom logic automatically whenever a record is deleted in Dataverse, without user interaction. What is the best approach?
Plug-in registered on the Delete message

2. A model-driven app form has an OnSave event handler that calls event.preventDefault(). What is the effect?
The save operation is cancelled and the record is not saved

Calling preventDefault() on the save event object cancels the save operation, preventing the record from being written to Dataverse.

TDS endpoint (Tabular Data Stream)

The TDS endpoint exposes Dataverse as a SQL data source, allowing SQL queries via tools like SSMS or Power BI.
