In most production apps, delegation warnings should not be ignored.
However, there are a few situations where it may be acceptable.
Examples include:
- Small datasets that will not grow : If the list has only a few records and it will not grow in the future, delegation may not be necessary. Power Apps can process such small data locally without problems.
- Internal admin tools with limited records: Some admin apps are used only by a few users and work with small datasets. In these cases, delegation issues usually do not affect the results.
- Early testing or proof-of-concept apps : During early development or testing, developers may ignore delegation warnings while checking if the app works correctly.
- Configuration lists or dropdown values : Lists used for settings or dropdown values usually contain very few records, so delegation is normally not required.
Example:
A list containing 20 country names does not require delegation.
Important rule:
For large business datasets, delegation warnings should always be resolved to avoid incomplete or incorrect results.
