Exam MB-500 topic 5 question 11 discussion

First extend the data provider class - Then duplicate the report - Lastly extend the report controller class

This whole question is particularly tricky.. There is really no given order for the actions, plus the solution is not even complete. Correct answer are indeed steps 1, 5, 2, however the order is speculative. You can exchange these steps however you like and as long as you do all of them, it will work. The question even misses one last step, which is creating a an extension for the menu item, that references the controller class (it must reference our controller extension class).. Plus in step 1 we should rename (best to add some suffix) the report, so we can distinguish it from the original one, so we can make the controller point to this duplicate. However I would settle with following order: 1 (Duplicate report [+ rename it?] and add the desired field), 5 (Extend the DP class, fill the value there), 2 (Extend the Controller class and make it point to our (duplicated) report)

Not sure the description corresponds to the possible answers. It is asking for "You need to create an extension of the in-memory table in a model and you add the new field to the extension". So the first thing to do would be... create an extension of the table

1 (Duplicate report [+ rename it?] and add the desired field), 5 (Extend the DP class, fill the value of the " newly added " field there), 2 (Extend the Controller class and make it point to our (duplicated) report)

Create an extension of the existing data provider class Create a duplicate from the report Create an extension of the existing report controller class

2 should come after 5 so it could be 1 5 2 or 5 2 1 or 5 1 2

1, 5, and 2
