I'm experiencing while following the instructor's guidance for managing data in the Dev environment. Regardless of the prompts I provide, Copilot consistently replies with the same message: “I'm sorry, but I can't assist with that request. However, I can help you work with the data you see here. Please try rephrasing your request or select 'View prompts' for some ideas on what to ask.”

Hi @CU06040619-0,

This is expected behavior. In Plan Designer, Copilot cannot edit existing Dataverse tables or records using prompts. Once you click “Looks good”, Copilot prompting for data changes is disabled.

That’s why every prompt returns “I can’t assist with that request.”
To continue the lab:
Edit data manually via View data, or
Restart the plan and use prompts before committing tables

This is a known limitation and not an issue with your prompts.

Alternate:
Use Copilot only for planning, not data editing
Treat Plan Designer outputs as blueprints, not live editors
Use Dataverse bulk edit or Excel import for faster data entry

Solved: I'm unable to assist with editing existing tables yet

If this does not solve your issue, please provide the below details:

1) Did you already click “Looks good” in the tables section?
2) Are you trying to add sample data or change column logic?
3) Are you running this in a Developer Environment with Dataverse enabled?
4) Which Applied Skills module and video timestamp are you following?

Thanks Sunil Kumar Pashikanti

3) Development Environment

4) Build Apps and Automate tasks -> 3. Start a new plan

4 minutes 34 seconds
This is pretty much everything we need, except let's set the vehicle name to the year, make and model.

4 minutes 49 seconds
And let's also add five more vehicle records because we're a big company and we rent out a lot of vehicles.
