PL-900 Practice Question: Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate
A Power Automate flow uses the 'Apply to each' control to process a list of items. The flow runs but only processes the first 10 items. What is the most likely reason?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The flow has a 'Terminate' action after the 10th item.
The 'Apply to each' control does not have a default limit of 10 items. It processes all items in the array sequentially by default. If only the first 10 items are processed, the most likely reason is that a 'Terminate' action is placed inside the loop after the 10th iteration, which stops the entire flow and prevents further processing. Option A is incorrect because there is no such default limit. Option C is incorrect because if the list contained exactly 10 items, all 10 would be processed, not just 'the first 10' implying there are more items. Option D is incorrect because the concurrency setting affects parallel execution, not the total number of items processed.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The 'Apply to each' control only processes the first 10 items by default.
Why it's wrong here
No default 10-item limit exists.
- ✓
The flow has a 'Terminate' action after the 10th item.
Why this is correct
Terminate would stop the flow.
- ✗
The list contains exactly 10 items.
Why it's wrong here
The user said processes only first 10 of more.
- ✗
The 'Apply to each' has a concurrency setting limiting the number of items processed.
Why it's wrong here
Concurrency settings can limit iteration.
