A .Plug-in profiler is the tool that should be used to debug a plug-in in Dynamics 365. It helps in analyzing the time consumed by each operation in the code, so that the performance can be improved. It also provides data on the inputs and outputs of the code.

Chat GPT 4 To debug the plug-in and investigate the reported validation issues, you should use the Plug-in Profiler. The Plug-in Profiler is a tool within the Power Platform that allows you to trace the execution of your plug-in code, log messages, and analyze the input/output data. It helps you identify any errors or unexpected behavior in your plug-in and provides insights for debugging and troubleshooting.

From ChatGPT: Option B, "Power Platform Tools for Visual Studio," is a useful tool for developing plug-ins and other customizations for Dynamics 365 and Power Apps, but it is not the best tool for debugging plug-ins. Power Platform Tools for Visual Studio provides features such as code editing, debugging, and project management capabilities for Dynamics 365 and Power Apps development. However, when it comes to debugging plug-ins, the Plug-in Profiler is a better choice. While you can use Visual Studio to debug a plug-in, it requires additional steps such as attaching to the Dynamics 365 process and setting breakpoints in the code. The Plug-in Profiler, on the other hand, is specifically designed to capture information about a plug-in's execution and can provide detailed information about the plug-in's behavior, including any errors or exceptions that occur. Therefore, while Power Platform Tools for Visual Studio is a valuable tool for Dynamics 365 and Power Apps development, it is not the best tool for debugging plug-ins.

Plug-in Profiler is not the best tool to use when debugging a plug-in that is not working as expected. The Plug-in Profiler is designed to troubleshoot performance issues with a plug-in by analyzing the execution of the plug-in on a remote server. It captures a profile of an executing plug-in and allows you to re-play the execution of the plug-in using Visual Studio on your local computer. However, it does not allow you to attach a debugger to the plug-in process and step through the code in real-time, which is typically necessary when debugging a plug-in. The Power Platform Tools for Visual Studio, on the other hand, is a tool that allows you to develop, debug, and deploy customizations for Dynamics 365 and Power Platform. It allows you to attach a debugger to the plug-in process, which allows you to step through the code and see what is happening at each stage of the validation process. This makes it more suitable for debugging the plug-in when the validation is not working as expected.
