Unable to load a Sharepoint list

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I have a mobile app where I was getting data from a SharePoint list. One day my app stopped working and I got the error message about too many lookup columns. Despite they were just 12, I have deleted 2 of them and now they are 10. I have refreshed connection, application etc etc, but still getting the same error.

Also I have tried to build another app and connect to the same list - but I am getting the same error.

When checking the data (in "items" of the gallery) I get the message "we didn't find any data"

and on the monitor I get this error:

"status": 400,
"message": "The query cannot be completed because the number of lookup columns it contains exceeds the lookup column threshold enforced by the administrator.\r\nclientRequestId:
 
The list has only 10 lookup columns (or person fields)...
I have a copy of the list on another site, and I can connect to that one without problems.
The Sharepoint list works perfectly under sharepoint (forms, workflows, flows etc).
 
Any idea?

    Hi @marpio ,

    Have you tried removing the list from the data sources in Power Apps, saving and closing, then adding it back in?

    I have already tried to open this list with a brand new PA application, and I have the same result... the problem is in the way PA approaches this list, or the list itself. But, as I've already said, the list in Sharepoint works perfectly (and it is in a production environment, so I cannot play so much with it)

    After 3 days PowerApps "realized" that something was changed in Sharepoint. So lesson learnt: it may take up to several days before you have a reliable communication/integration between the PA and SP. So far you can just wonderwhy it this happening...
