I have two List lookup dropdowns on a form: Managing Director and Department 


Sometimes we have to remove Departments/Managing Directors and add new


How can I set it up that the removed Departments/Directors do not disappear from the forms already submitted?  Is it possible to lock the form so it doesn't become blank after in the two dropdowns?  Or is my only option have a view for the List lookups (Based on this solution: https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/What-is-best-practice-for-maintaining-lookup-lists/m-p/6259#M5276)?

Hi @dperani 


This is not limited to Nintex.  All lookup columns will clear when the item is deleted from the lookup list.


This behavior is due to the fact that the lookup field contains the ID of the list item, not the text.  When you open the item, the form finds the entry with that ID and displays the applicable value.


No entry in the list, no value to lookup.
