View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • A custom list has a custom lookup field that references another custom list that contains more than 20 items in Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010.
  • You add an item to the second list.
  • You set the value of the lookup field to "None."
  • You try to save the list.
In this scenario, the list items are not saved, and you receive the following error message:
The list item could not be inserted or updated because invalid lookup values were found for the following field(s) in the list: [name].


Or
  • A custom list contains more than one field that references another list that contain more than 20 items in Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010.
In this scenario, only the first lookup field drop down lookup field will render correctly. The second (or any subsequent) lookup field will render in the location of the first dropdown.
