Question

A Business Rule in Dataverse is a no-code/low-code feature used to apply business logic to table fields and forms. It allows us to dynamically control field behavior based on conditions, without writing JavaScript.

For example, if Customer Type = Business, we can use a Business Rule to:

Make Company Name mandatory.
Show the Tax ID field.
Enable or disable a field.
Set a field value.
Display an error message.

Business Rule is a no-code/low-code feature in Microsoft Dataverse used to apply business logic to forms and records.
It can validate data, set field values, show/hide fields, enable/disable fields, and make fields required.
Business Rules can work on Model-driven app forms and can also run at the server level for certain scenarios.
They help maintain data consistency and business policies without writing JavaScript or plugins.

Example: If Customer Type = Premium → make Discount field required.
Business Rules are best suited for simple form-level validations and field behavior; complex logic may require Power Automate, JavaScript, or plugins.
