so i have a dynamic list field with 5000 rows. if i set maxdropdown to 10k in the thick client it loads the whole list from the start. however in web access 10 i still have to type like 5 characters before it stops saying to many results. so there is a hard capped max in web access, anyone know what that max is?

Hey Joel,

The Client and Web Access seem to be behaving the same for me in regards to MaxDropDownLength. There's no hard cap in Web Access, and in fact Web Access defaults to showing all the values in the absence of a MaxDropDownLength.

Just to be sure- I'm assuming you applied the MaxDropDownLength attriubte to the everyone group? And you used the same user in both Client and Web Access to reproduce the MaxDropDownLength behavior?

If not, make sure that the user you logged into Web Access with doesn't have its own specific MaxDropDownLength attribute. In that case, The individual user's attribute would overwrite the everyone group's attribute.

If that's not the case, could provide some more specifics about your setup? Information such as browser used and template layout would help a lot. By template layout, I mean things like field type of dynamic fields, are they multi value, do they have default values, etc.

So setting is applied to everyone. Same user in both web an thick. If I set maxdropdown to 10,000 , field is text, multi-value, no default value. SQL table has 5,000 rows, only one column of data. because max is set to 10k the second you type the first character you should get all results back right away.

Which is what happens in thick, you get a giant list.

In the web client you have to type about 4 characters before, it stops saying to many blah blah blah, and returns only a couple hundred results.

Hope that explains it better.
