33. What happens when a delegation warning appears?

When a delegation warning appears, Power Apps cannot send part of the query to the data source.
Instead:

  • The formula runs locally inside the app
  • Only limited records are evaluated
  • Results may become incomplete

Important idea:

  • The app does not fail immediately
  • Problems appear when the dataset grows

Example:

A search may work during testing with 200 records but fail when the list grows to 10,000 records.
This is why delegation warnings should always be reviewed during development.
