PL-900 Practice Question: A Power Pages site uses a custom Liquid template…
A Power Pages site uses a custom Liquid template to display a list of events. The template uses {% assign events = entities.event | top: 10 %} but the page shows no results even though there are events in Dataverse. What is the most likely cause?
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 user's web role lacks read permission on the Event table
The most likely cause is that the user's web role lacks read permission on the Event table. Power Pages uses Table Permissions to control data access; a web role must have read access for the user to retrieve data via Liquid entities. Option B is incorrect because 'top' is a valid filter in Liquid. Option C is incorrect because page caching does not prevent Liquid from executing against Dataverse; it caches the rendered output after execution. Option D is incorrect because incorrect Liquid syntax typically produces an error, not empty results.

Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The user's web role lacks read permission on the Event table
Why this is correct
Table permissions control data access; without read, no records are returned.

The 'top' filter is not valid in Liquid
Why it's wrong here
'top' is a valid Liquid filter for limiting results.
- ✗
Page caching is preventing fresh data
Why it's wrong here
Caching may serve stale data but not cause empty results.
- ✗
The Liquid syntax is incorrect
Why it's wrong here
The syntax is correct; if there were an error, the page would show an error.
