Lists: Threshold error with filtered view (<5000 items)
Hi, I have a SPO List with ~40000 entries. To work with it I created a view which gives me less than 100 entries at a time. I can set a filter on a field called "localID" and also modifying the URL to have a different localID works for me (owner of the SPO site). However, other owner of the site are NOT able to use the list nor the filtered view. They get the famous threshold error. The permissions are not changed and are still the same as on the site level. Anyone else encountered this behaviour and how did you overcome it? Best regards
Microsoft Forms: Multiple Choice Type is not showing all answers in SharePoint List
Hi, I have created a Microsoft form which contains a field "Pemohon". This field is a VLOOKUP of the type "Multiple Choice". The entries submitted in this form are reflected in the SharePoint list. After submitting the form, the multiple choices entered in the field are not visible in the SharePoint list. Only the first choice among the multiple entries is visible in the List under that field. Even if I edit the entries in the SharePoint list it is still not showing the multiple entries in that field. Is this a bug? or am I doing anything wrong? Anyone else facing this same issue?Power Automate Flow moving Attachments in Email to MS List - can it get a Email as an attachment?
Created a Flow to get Emails from Outlook using Graph API to extract all metadata into columns in a MS List including attachments of the Email into a column in the MS List with the name as a hyperlink in the same site as the list; but when there is another Email as an attachment it does not come into the MS List. Is there such a limitation in MS Flow where it cannot get the Email attached in an Email as an Attachment?
Forms
I was looking and all I found were similar questions from as far back as 2019, so assuming no solution has been made, yet? Is any way to get a Form to read/populate dynamic choices for a question from an external source say a SharePoint online list? This would make it easier to manage the list without having to update the form each time new options were added. For example, if I had a form with a question asking for a person to assign that day to that task and the list of people available to pick from changes daily (but is scheduled a month in advance with potential last minute tweaks), I would rather pull a list from a common external source than have to update the form each day or any time a person switches days.Creating a Form from a List
The Forms link at the top of a Microsoft List is awesome -- it lets me create a Form for the current list. I can use all of the great features of Forms to make the list be exactly what I want. What's really disappointing, though, is that there's no way (at least that I can find) to connect my beautiful form to the New button for the list. In the Forms section of the List settings, I can opt for the default form, a Power App form, or an Info Path form. It would be fantastic if I could choose the form that I just created -- FROM THE LIST -- to the list. It seems like an obvious and confusing disconnect. The very presence of a link to Forms suggests that this is the way to customize an intake form for the list. But alas, no. I assume I'm not the first person to fall into this pit! Is it on the roadmap?
