How to Trigger a Plugin on a Calculated Column Change in Dataverse / Dynamics 365
Calculated columns in Microsoft Dataverse allow for dynamic value derivation without manual updates. However, plugins do not trigger directly on calculated column changes because these values are computed at runtime and not stored in the database. To work around this, plugins can be registered on the change of dependent fields that the calculated column uses. For example, if a calculated column is based on Quantity and Unit Price, the plugin can be triggered on the Update event of Quantity and Unit Price. This ensures that the desired automation is still achieved.
