Form list lookup threshold?


Badge +1

Hi

I have an issue with list lookup if the form is in Display mode.

The form contains some list lookups to another list. The lookup field is set to check a specific view in the source list and filter on a specific value to only return these data to the dropdown.The unfiltered view in the source list contains currently 700 items, the view displays all items at once. This is on-prem version.

The issue is that when opening a form item in View Mode, it is not always able to load the lookup data. For some seconds I see 'Loading...' then it stays blank. When changing to Edit mode it is working, the selections are loading fine.

I have found out that the issue starts appearing for items where the lookup needs to retrieve data beyond approx item#500 in the source list. For testing I've applied a filter to the source list view to get below 500 items, and this resolves the issue.

So, to me it looks as if there is a threshold for display mode? Is that something that can be changed? Or is there another way of working around this issue?

Thanks.

yes there are some internal limits, unfortunately they are not well documented.

in recent releases there were implemented some fixes in this regard.

so I would suggest to check release notes https://community.nintex.com/search.jspa?q=%22nintex+forms%22+AND+%22release+notes%22  and see whether some of newer versions do not address your problem.

Thanks for your feedback, Marian. I will in this case forward the issue to our support team to have them check the releases.
