App to have 10 sharepoint lists as source. Too much?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 10

I'm building an Auto Parts Inventory app and I'm giving the users the option to add custom "Part Attributes", such as Size, Length, Color, Shape, Texture, Shape, etc. 

 

Each attribute will have a dropdown box.  If a certain color is not available as a choice, the user can add a custom one.

 

In addition to the 9 SP lists above, there is also the primary list where all of the data is housed.

 

I'm thinking in order for users to add custom items to these attributes, each Attribute has to have it's own list, thus having 9 SP lists being connected to the app.  Will this bog down the performance of the app?

 

I'm looking if there may be better solutions to this setup.

    @PowerappxTest12 - using separate lists will certainly not adversely hinder the performance of your app and in fact I see this as a benefit vs another approach of leveraging SharePoint Choice columns with "can add values manually" enabled.

     

    In addition, based on what you described so far, I do not see any reason to create multiple lists, when you could create one list with the following structure:
