Rendering a lookup as a dropdown list record limitation

Posted on by SarahC

I have a lookup containing nearly 16000 records.

In my power page I am rendering the lookup as a dropdown.

Seems because this generates as a list now it hits the Microsoft 5000 records list limitation, similar to sharepoint and power apps canvas.

How can I get the dropdown to render all 16000 records.

I also have javascript to allow for typeahead, hoping that some how helps filter the records returned some how, but it only searches the 5000 rendered records.

Any suggestions?

Hi @SChavez ,
Unfortunately, you cannot increase the number of records to fetch when you render the lookup as a dropdown. I would advise you not to render lookup as a dropdown. Instead, hide it, fetch the needed records (either via web API or fetchxml), create a custom dropdown and populate it with results. You can then use your typeahead and after user selection populate the actual lookup.
