Lookup does not save data when 'Allow multiple values' is selected

rss

Posted by kevyn - Mar 8 ’16 at 05:49

I have a simple lookup to a 'title' field in another list - this works ok when you can only select a single lookup item. However if you allow multiple values, the meta data does not save - however the version number does increase. You can select multiple items, and they appear in the lookup, but after pressing save, nothing gets written to the metadata field

 

code:

function (term, page) {

if (!term || term.length == 0) {

return "{WebUrl}/_api/web/lists('{ListId}')/items?$select=Id,{LookupField}&$orderby=Created desc&$top=10";

}

 

return "{WebUrl}/_api/web/lists('{ListId}')/items?$select=Id,{LookupField},Title&$orderby={LookupField}&$filter=substringof('" + encodeURIComponent(term) + "',Title)&$top=10";

 

}

    [#3]: I cannot give access at this time, but here is a recording of what happens: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6R1uQorGwJYV1dyUXpNNV82OTQ/view

    Please note, that when the 'allow multiple values' is unchecked, it saves correctly

    [#4]: We have tried to replicate the issue in both multi- and single-value modes but without success. Could you try to reproduce it in another browser, say IE or Edge? Please, open the browser console (F12) and save the form again. Have you got any JS-errors or notifications?

    Issue now resolved with support session - recreated the lookup field with a new name solved the problem. Thank you
