Quick Answer
The answer is to add a quick view form for the Account entity. This is the correct approach because a quick view form in a model-driven app allows you to display read-only data from a related entity—in this case, the account name and phone number from the Account lookup—directly on the Project form without any custom code or duplication of fields. On the Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals PL-900 exam, this question tests your understanding of how to efficiently show related data using out-of-the-box form components, often appearing as a scenario where you must choose between a quick view form, a custom page, or duplicating fields. A common trap is selecting the option to add fields manually from the lookup entity, which would require data duplication and maintenance overhead. Remember the memory tip: “Quick view for quick lookup data”—if you need to see details from a related record without editing them, a quick view form is your go-to tool.

Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
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?
Clue words in this question
Noticing these words before you look at the options changes how you read each choice.
Clue: "best"
Why it matters: Signals that multiple options may be partially correct. Choose the option that most directly solves the exact problem described, not the one that sounds most complete.
Use a calculated field on the Project entity
Why wrong: Calculated fields are for same-entity calculations.
Create a new main form for the Project entity
Why wrong: Creating a new form doesn't display related data.
Add the account fields directly to the Project entity
Why wrong: This duplicates data and is not recommended.
Add a quick view form for the Account entity
Quick view form shows related data inline.

Correct answer & explanation
Add a quick view form for the Account entity

Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.

These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. A model-driven app shows a custom form with fields from two related tables: Order and Customer. The form is set to display the Customer fields as a subgrid. Users want to see Customer details inline without navigating away. What should the app maker do?
mediumWhy C: Quick view forms allow displaying related entity fields inline. Subgrids show lists, not detail fields. Custom pages are for canvas experiences. Form sections don't add inline detail from other tables.
