PL-900 Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Apps Practice Question
A model-driven app includes a custom entity 'Project' with a lookup to 'Account'. Users need to see the account name and phone number on the Project form. What is the best way to display these fields?
⚠ Common exam trap
PL-900 often tests the misconception that related data should be duplicated onto the primary entity; candidates must recognize quick view forms as the correct way to display related fields.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Add a quick view form for the Account entity
A quick view form on the Account entity allows users to see read-only account information (such as account name and phone number) directly on the Project form without duplicating data. When a lookup to Account is added to the Project form, the quick view form can be configured to display those fields, providing a seamless view of related data.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use a calculated field on the Project entity
Why it's wrong here
Calculated fields compute values from columns on the same record, so they cannot pull the related Account's name or phone across the lookup. It is tempting for derived values, but here the data already exists on Account; the form needs a related-field or quick-view control instead.
- ✗
Create a new main form for the Project entity
Why it's wrong here
A new main form changes which form loads for the entity, not which columns appear; the account name and phone still are not on it. It is tempting because forms control layout, but the requirement is displaying related-record fields, which a quick view or related-field control on the existing form provides.
- ✗
Add the account fields directly to the Project entity
Why it's wrong here
Copying account fields onto Project duplicates data that already lives on Account, so it drifts out of sync and adds storage. It is tempting when users want related values shown, but a lookup column already surfaces the related record; the form should expose those related fields instead.
- ✓
Add a quick view form for the Account entity
Why this is correct
A quick view form on the Project form surfaces read-only Account fields, such as name and phone number, from the related record via the lookup. This satisfies the requirement without duplicating data or altering the Account entity.

- B.Create a custom page with a canvas control
- ✓ C.Use a quick view form for the Customer table
- D.Add a subgrid for the Customer table
Why C: A quick view form in Power Apps displays read-only information from a related table inline on a form, allowing users to see Customer details without navigating away. It is specifically designed to show related record data within the context of the primary record.
