1. Is it possible to use SharePoint as a direct data source for a Model-Driven App?
Answer:

Answer:
No, not automatically.
- Dataverse controls record access
- SharePoint controls file access
Both have separate security models. Access must be explicitly configured or synchronized.
3. Can we make fields mandatory dynamically in a Model-Driven App?
