Great video. Thanks for the content and the effort. It's really helpful!

Good video. Is there any reason why you have implemented that action via a plugin when you could do the same thing with JavaScript? It would then be instant to the user rather than taking place after create or after the record has been saved?

Thanks! The video aims to showcase how to develop plug-ins, as opposed to the scenario/requirement itself. However, I would disagree that JavaScript is the best route to achieving this requirement. By ensuring it is set up a server-side plug-in, you can ensure that the logic will consistently execute, regardless of how the record has been accessed (via a model-driven app, canvas app, data import etc.). By going down the JavaScript route, your logic would only ever execute at the model-driven app level. Also, synchronous plug-ins can provide that instant feedback, provided that the user saves the Dataverse row.

@@CRMChap thanks for your detailed reply, that all makes sense. I never said JavaScript was the best method, I was merely asking the question just because of the particular action you demonstrated. Thanks again for the informative videos.
