A company uses a model-driven app for project management. When a project is created, the system must automatically generate a unique project code based on a custom number sequence. The code must be generated immediately and be visible on the form. Which approach should you use?

Use JavaScript on the form's OnLoad event to generate the code.

Create a synchronous plug-in on the Create message to generate the code and set the field.

Use a business rule to concatenate a prefix with an auto-number field.

Use a Power Automate flow to generate the code after the record is created.

A developer needs to implement a business rule that should run when a record is created or updated in Dataverse, regardless of the client application. Which implementation approach is appropriate?

A custom control in a model-driven app

A Power Automate flow triggered from a specific app

A client-side script in a canvas app

A business rule configured in Dataverse

Which of the following is an example of out-of-the-box functionality in Power Platform that can be used to meet a requirement without custom code?

Creating a business rule to set field values

Implementing a custom API endpoint

Developing a custom web resource to render a custom UI

Writing a C# plug-in to handle complex logic

A company is building a Power Automate flow that calls a custom API protected by Azure AD. The flow runs in the context of the user who triggers it. The API requires the user's identity to make authorization decisions. What should you use to authenticate the API call?

Use a service principal connection with a client secret.

Use a basic authentication connection with the user's credentials.

Use an API key that is stored in an environment variable.

Use the 'HTTP with Azure AD' action and select the user's Azure AD connection.
