Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customization and Configuration (legacy) — Question 25

You create a custom entity. Records are created by users through the user interface, and through a backend integration.
You must combine two fields to populate a new field that will replace the name field on the entity.
You need to ensure that the new field displays a result immediately after a new record is saved.
What should you use?

Answer options

• A. a background workflow
• B. JavaScript code on the record form
• C. a form-scoped business rule
• D. a calculated field

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as a background workflow can automate processes and update fields immediately after a record is saved. Options B and C would require user interaction or specific conditions to trigger updates, while D does not allow for immediate updates as it computes values based on other fields rather than directly replacing them.
