Register a signed plug-in assembly, target message, step mode/stage and image configuration with supported tooling and deploy it in a solution. That action addresses Plug-in Registration Tool and signed assembly deployment instead. Publishing a DLL without a registered step does not automatically attach code to Dataverse messages. For this case, the targeted action is: Move long-running operations to background processing with correlation and safe retries rather than forcing synchronous UI requests to remain open.

Use a stable correlation/business key, durable receipt and bounded retry logic in Azure Functions consuming Power Platform events. That action addresses Azure Function idempotent integration recovery instead. At-least-once messages and function retries require idempotency at the actual business operation. For this case, the targeted action is: Move long-running operations to background processing with correlation and safe retries rather than forcing synchronous UI requests to remain open.

Repeating the same upstream feed does not duplicate Dataverse records and updates the intended row. This result validates Dataverse UpsertRequest idempotent load instead of the component in question.

And its evidence is: Inspect evaluator cases, tool traces, policy refusal tests, human approval status, error rates and rollback evidence.

Use expressions such as coalesce, empty, formatDateTime and guarded JSON parsing with explicit type assumptions. That action addresses Power Automate expressions null coalesce and safe parsing instead. A missing property is not always equivalent to an empty string; expression behavior depends on data type. For this case, the targeted action is: Use IOrganizationService Retrieve/Update/ExecuteRequest operations from a supported server-side context and handle typed Entity logical names.

Use a stable correlation/business key, durable receipt and bounded retry logic in Azure Functions consuming Power Platform events. That action addresses Azure Function idempotent integration recovery instead. At-least-once messages and function retries require idempotency at the actual business operation. For this case, the targeted action is: Use IOrganizationService Retrieve/Update/ExecuteRequest operations from a supported server-side context and handle typed Entity logical names.

Use Azure Functions to offload expensive work from synchronous Dataverse plug-ins while authenticating separately and tracking completion. That action addresses Azure Functions for long-running Dataverse work instead. Function execution is not automatically atomic with the Dataverse operation that queued it.
