Suggested Answer:
The ClearCollect function deletes all the records from a collection.
Syntax: ClearCollect( Collection, Item, ... )
Collection ג€" Required. The collection that you want to clear and then add data to.
Item(s) - Required. One or more records or tables to add to the data source.

Box 1: Yes -
The Patch function in Power Apps modifies or creates one or more records in a data source, or merges records outside of a data source.
Use Patch with the Defaults function to create records.

Box 2: No -
The return value of Patch is the record that you modified or created. If you created a record, the return value may include properties that the data source generated automatically. However, the return value doesn't provide a value for fields of a related table.
For example, you use Set(MyAccount, Patch(Accounts, First(Account), 'Account Name': "Example name"); and then MyAccount.'Primary Contact'.'Full Name'. You can't yield a full name in this case. Instead, to access the fields of a related table, use a separate lookup such as:
LookUp(Accounts, Account = MyAccount.Account).'Primary Contact'.'Full Name

Box 3: Yes -

Box 4: Yes -
Merge records outside of a data source.
Specify two or more records that you want to merge. Records are processed in the order from the beginning of the argument list to the end, with later property values overriding earlier ones.
Patch returns the merged record and doesn't modify its arguments or records in any data sources.

For the last question, the answer should be no, as the syntqx is still the one for creating/modifying a record in a data source and not for merging two recorda outside of the source: Modify or create a record in a data source Patch( DataSource, BaseRecord, ChangeRecord1 [, ChangeRecord2, … ]) Merge records Patch( Record1, Record2 [, …] )

Last is 'no' because patch() with defaults() does not update but creates: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-patch#overview "Use Patch with the Defaults function to create records. "

The usage of LookUp function is to find the first record in a table based upon certain criteria. So, the third answer should also be NO. Correct answers: YNNN

Furthermore, (for question 3) >>> No need to use Lookup function to create reference to customer because the earlier Patch function already returns the generated customer ID. Reference >>> The return value of Patch is the record that you modified or created. If you created a record, the return value may include properties that the data source generated automatically. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-patch#modify-or-create-a-record-in-a-data-source

2 explanation: Explanation: This statement simply creates a new receiver record by assigning SignedBy and SignedID. It does not create or store any reference to a package.

3 explanation: Explanation: In the second Patch call, the app uses First(Result).SbsId to capture the identity (primary key) of the newly created receiver record. Because the Patch function in Power Apps returns the newly created record (including its identity column) to the Result collection, no additional lookup is required. You already have the correct SbsId to link the package.

4 explanation: Explanation: When you use Defaults(Packages) in the Patch call, you are creating a new record rather than merging changes into an existing record. “Merging” would require specifying an existing record to update.

As always the whole set up + code does not make sense. The questions wording does not give enough information and leaves room for speculations.... 1. N -No SBsqlid is not included in the patch object. Further we do not know if SBsqlid is an auto populated primary key column or a foreign key. 2. N - Technically yes because SignedById should be a reference to the customer, but actually no because we do not know if it is true and if the customer already exists. 3. Y - Without checking for the customer we cannot be sure if the customer exists. Lookup customer by SignedById, if empty do something else because reference is missing. The reference to the receiver is worthless if the customer does not exist. 4. No - Default(Packages) creates a new package. There is no indication the a merge is required.

1) Defenetive Yes as an identity column in SQL is a column whose values are automatically generated when a new row is inserted into the table. This feature is commonly used to create unique identifiers for each row, often serving as the primary key.

For 1. Typo meant custom unique key instead of foreign key. So we do not know if SBsqlid values are generated by the system or of it just a unique column and requires unique informationen.
