Site lookup columns empty on some subsites.

Hello all,
I have a lookup column that contains employee info from a list stored in the root of the site collection. I called it lkupEmployeeName
On one sub site that is one level down from the root, I have another list that contains projects. The lkupEmployeeName column is used to reference the employee name. This works fine.
I created another subsite one level down from the root and have a list there called equipment. Using the same lkupEmployeeName column there, the column is empty and I get a message stating that the service is not avail right now, click here to try again.
Of course clicking it results in nothing.
I added a new list item to the employee info table to see if the lkupEmployeeName column would update in the projects list and it does. Going to the equipment list in the site next door and it is still empty.
I have tried making another sub site and another lookup column. And for whatever reason any lookup columns I make now only work at the same level that they were created on. If I try to use the column on a different site they are empty.
Looking in SharePoint Manager, I have found the listID and webID attributes to be correct.
I have tried this with service pack one and without service pack one. (I have the machine duplicated in VMware) Either host has the same exact results.
My thoughts are that newly created sub sites are not connecting to the lists properly but I don't know why this is. The correct listID is showing in SharePoint Manager so I am stumped.
Ideas?

Update.
The above mentioned behavior happens if I use SharePoint designer to add site lookup columns to the list.
I just tried to add the site lookup columns by going to the list settings using the web interface and the lookup columns work fine. Apparently there is some sort of bug with the designer as I tried the same steps from another machine and it did the same
thing. There must be some sort of data missing that is not getting saved when I save the list through SharePoint Designer.
For now I will mark this thread as answered but I would still like to know the cause of this behavior if anyone else has any input.

Site Lookup Column As Managed Property

Please let me know if my logic here is incorrect or suggest better alternative. This is hosted on Office 365.
1. I have a Site Lookup column (EventLookup) that is linked to a list on my Root Site --> Lists/Events
2. I have a subsite with a list that references a (EventLookup) site column --> Lists/MyEvents
3. User creates an item in Lists/MyEvents and selects one of the Events from the Lookup Column
4. I crawl the site and in my crawled properties i can see ows_EventLookUp and ows_EventLookupUp:ID
5. I create a managed property KeyEventID and add ows_EventLookupUp:ID to it.
6. I add a CSWP and set KeyEventID:1 to return any item that has EventLookUp:ID is equal to 1.
Above never works, i cant search bring back any results based on that LookUp column.
Basically my managed property from a site lookup column doesn't work in Content Search Web Part. It is not filterable and doesn't return a value if i use search api to return it either.
help appreciated.

Hi Sudip,
Thanks for the response.
I did not get the answer to the first part.
Let me describe the scenario again:
Scenario-1: I have a site column and using the site column in the list. I am getting the crawled property and it is getting mapped to the managed property.
Result: I am good. Crawled property of site column is mapped to managed property.
Scenario-2:I have a list and I created a column (Go to List setting and created a column as Single line of text called "Foo").
Result: Here I don't see the crawled property getting created and mapped to Managed property.
Action taken to see the crawled property as given below:
1. Index reset
2. Full Crawl
Still for the Scenario-2: I don't see the crawled property.
Can I expect the crawled property to be available for created list column "Foo"?

Site lookup columns that contain a list with lookup columns help needed

Here is the theoretical scenario,
I have a list called Shirts. The list contains name,color, and size columns.
I have a list called Pants This list contains name, color and size columns as well.
These two lists are contained at the root level of the site. I created site lookup columns for these two lists and used the name, color and size columns as additional fields on both lookup columns. Lets call these lkupPants and lkupShirts.
On a sub site I have a list called people. It contains name,date,lkupPants and lkupShirts columns.
The list looks something like this is dataview:
Name Date lkupPantsName lkupPantsColor lkupPantsSize lkupShirtName lkupShirtColor lkupShirtSize
This is the behavior I expected. The additional columns selected in the site lookup columns appear in the list.
I now create another site lookup column this one is based on the list called people at this subsite level. When creating the site lookup column, the data from lkupPants and lkupShirts are not available.
How can one create a lookup column that contains list data and any lookup columns contained in the list as additional fields.
If anyone can see where I am going with this, can they provide another means to accomplish what I am trying to do?
fr0stsp1re

create additional columns in people list. look up values are available in the workflow so populate the additional columns with the values you need. this will allow you to create another look up column based on this list and all the fields needed.
just a thought.

Issue with site template that contains a document library with a lookup column to another list

I have a document library called Proposals with a lookup column in the same site called Document Categories (multiple values allowed). It points to a list called document categories. I have several sample documents in the Proposal Library that
contain valid document categories. When I save the site as a template and instantiate it, everything is fine. However, when I remove the sample documents from the Proposal library and rebuild the site template, I can't get the template to
create another site. I get an error Unable To Open Lookup List.
I don't understand why I can instantiate a site from the template when there's sample data, but not when the document library containing the lookup column is empty.
Does SharePoint 2010 site template support lookup columns?
Why would it make a difference if the library is empty?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you created a site from the template with no files in the document library.
I tested the same scenario per your post, and I can create a site from the template with no files in the document library with no errors.
To solve this issue, I recommend to verify the things below:
Did you save the site as a template with Include Content checked? If yes, I recommend to test if it works when saving the site as a template with Include Content unchecked.
Test the same scenario with a new site to narrow the issue scope.
I also recommend to check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer” in the Search box.
For SharePoint 2010, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS.
You can check the ULS log by the methods here:

Lookup Columns in subsites

Hey,
do you have a soloution for the following Problem:
We have a sitecollection (root) with a two lists and Sub sites which look exactly like sitecollection.
The subsites should import the data in the lists to the sitecollection by a timerjob where it gets monitored. But each subsites have ist own permissions! So noone can write to the sitecollection. Easy to solve... normally...
We have contenttypes on the sitecollection created. then we have several subsites in the sitecollection which inherits the contenttypes. With a web-Feature i add two lookup coloumns to the contenttype and all subsites inherits the lookup columns.
The Problem here is, that all of These subsites refer to the sitecollection lists...
Programmaticially i can not Change the lookup columns on each subsite to their lists in their subsite.
How can i solve that Problem?

When you are adding a column to the parent content type you get the following option.
On selection of yes all the existing lists from the content types will get updated with the new column. This option is available during the creation of new column as well as adding existing site column to the content type and hence will be available in Modify
View functionality
You can also use object model to propagate parent changes Immediately.

Hi Tailorworld
please try the power shell script because you are facing problumn with default content type feature
Run the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell as Administrator.
Run the following command to disable the default content type feature:
Disable-SPFeature –Identity ctypes –url http://SiteCollection
Then enable the content type feature:
Enable-SPFeature –Identity ctypes –url http://SiteCollection
If you look at your content types, they should now all be there. Try saving the subsite as a template again, it should succeed.

Create Site Column and add it to two different list as dependent lookup column

I want to create two lookup lists that will have one common column. The common column values will vary depending on the list.
For ex: List A holds Countries (USA) and their Currency code (USD). List B holds States (New York) and their code (NY). The lists are completely independent of each other. I would like to create a common site column named "Code" of type
Text and use it across these two lists. Is it possible?
My solution so far -
a. created the site column (programmatically) which is pretty straight forward.
b. created list definition with two fields (Title and Code).
c. created list instance for Country list. Added data rows in the elements.xml. But not sure how to add Code field as dependent lookup.
If I remove the code field from the elements.xml, the solution deploys successfully creating the Country list with just the Title field. But I need both the fields. Any help is appreciated.
Here is a look at the elements.xml with data rows for Country list instance
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<ListInstance Title="List Instance" OnQuickLaunch="TRUE" TemplateType="10001" Url="Lists/CountryList" Description="Country Values">
<Data>
<Rows>
<Row>
<Field Name="Title">USA</Field>
<Field Name="Code">USD</Field>
</Row>
<Row>
<Field Name="Title">Japan</Field>
<Field Name="Code">Yen</Field>
</Row>
<Row>
<Field Name="Title">Australia</Field>
<Field Name="Code">AUD</Field>
</Row>
</Rows>
</Data>
</ListInstance>
</Elements>

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to add lookup field to the list in elements.xml.
I recoment you to create lookup column as site column, then bind the lookup column to the contnet type, and then use the contnet type in the list.

[Forum FAQ] SharePoint 2013: Extracting values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and merge values to a multi-value enabled column

For some business requirements, users want to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column
and add items to another list based on each separate value. In contrast, others want to find duplicate values in the list and merge associated values to a multi-value enabled column and then
add items to another list based on the merged value. All of these can be achieved using SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow.
How to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and add items to another list based
on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
Important actions: Loop Shape; Utility Actions
Three scenarios
Things to note
Steps to create Workflow
How to merge values to a multi-value enabled column and add item to another list based on the
merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
Important actions: Call HTTP Web Service; Build Dictionary
Things to note
Steps to create Workflow
How to
extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and
add items to another list based on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to
extract values from the Destinations column
in Lookup2 and add items to Lookup3 based on each country and set Title to current item: ID.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).\
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Important action
1. Loop Shape: SharePoint Designer 2013 support two types of loops: loop n times and loop with condition.
Loops must also conform to the following rules:
Loops must be within a stage, and stages cannot be within a loop.
Steps may be within a loop.
Loops may have only one entry and one exit point.
2. Utility Actions: It contains many actions, such as ‘Extract Substring from Index of String’ and ‘Find substring in String’.
Three scenarios
We need to loop through the string returned from the look up column and look for commas. There are three
scenarios:
1. No comma but string is non-empty so there is only one country.
2. At least one comma so there is at least two or more countries to loop.
3. In the loop we have consumed all the commas so we have found the last country.
Things to note
There are two things to note:
1. "Find string in string (output to Variable:index)" will return -1 if doesn't find
the searched for string.
2. In the opening statement "Set Variable: Countries to Current Item:Destinations" set the return
field as "Lookup Values, Comma Delimited".
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup2.
Add conditions and actions:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup2, then workflow will be started automatically and create multiple items to lookup3.
See the below in workflow History List:
How to merge values to a multi-value enabled column and add item to another list based on the
merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to find duplicate values in the Title column in
Lookup3 and merge country column to a multi-value enabled column and then add item to lookup2 and set the Title to Current Item: Title.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Test (Single line of text).
Important actions
"Call HTTP Web Service"
action: In SharePoint 2013 workflows, we can call a web service using a new action introduced in SharePoint 2013 named Call HTTP Web Service. This action
is flexible and allows you to make simple calls to a web service easily, or, if needed, you can create more complex calls using HTTP verbs as well as allowing you to add HTTP headers.
“Build Dictionary"
action:
The Dictionary variable type is a new variable type in the SharePoint 2013 Workflow.
The following are the three actions specifically designed for the Dictionary variable type: Build Dictionary, Count Items in a Dictionary and Get an Item from a Dictionary.
The "Call HTTP Web Service" workflow action would be useless without the new "Dictionary" workflow action.
Things to note
The
HTTP URI is set to https://sitename/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('listname')/items?$orderby=Id%20desc and the HTTP method is set to “GET”. Then the list will be sort by Id in descending order.
Use Get
d/results(0)/Id form
Variable: ResponseContent (Output to
Variable: maxid) to get the Max ID.
Use Set
Variable: minid to Current List:ID to get the Min ID.
Use Copy from
Variable: destianation , starting at
1 (Output to
Variable: destianation) to remove the space.
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Test (Single line of text).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup3.
Add a new "Build Dictionary" action
to define the http request header:
Add a Call HTTP Web Serviceaction, click on
this and paste your http request.
To associate the
RequestHeader variable, select the Call action property,
set the
RequestHeaders property to
RequestHeader:
In the Call action, click on
response and associate the response to a new
variable: ResponseContent (of type Dictionary).
After the Call action add Get item from Dictionary action to get the Max ID.
Add Set Workflow Variable action to get the Min ID.
Add Loop Shape (Loop with Condition) to get all the duplicate titles and integrate them to a string.
Create item in Lookup2.
The final Stage should look like this:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup3, then workflow will be started automatically and create item to lookup2.
See the below in workflow History List:

GREAT info, but it may be helpful to note that when replacing a portion of the variable "Countries" with a whitespace character, you may cause the workflow to fail in a few specific cases (certain lookup fields will not accept this and will automatically
cancel). I only found this out when recreating your workflow on a similar, but much more complex list set.
To resolve this issue, I used another utility action (Extract Substring from Index of List) to clear out the whitespace. I configured it as "Copy from
Variable: Countries, starting at
1 (Output to Variable: Countries), which takes care of this issue in those few cases.
Otherwise, WOW! AWESOME JOB! Thanks! :)

PowerShell: Update SharePoint multiple value lookup column?!

Hi.
I have some PowerShell scripts that access, update and insert data into various SharePoint 2010 lists. This all works nicely but there is one thing I'm having trouble with. I want to populate a lookup column in a list with multiple values. The column allows
multiple values and has many such records inserted manually - but I cannot do this using PowerShell. I can update the lookup column using a single "ID" lookup value - but not with multiple values.
I cannot find any documentation on how to do this using PowerShell. I have seen some examples (C#?) but there's little help in them.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Markus

List Views displaying error - when using Lookup column for filtering ( which are indexed )

I'm trying to filter a large list that has more items than the list view threshold. The list has a lookup column that is indexed. If I try to filter by other columns, the view works fine as long as it returns fewer than 5,000 items. However, if
I try to filter by the lookup column, I get the error about not being able to display the items because the list is too large.
The views are returning items which are less than threshold value , but still I am seeing the same issue.I Created some pages and added this filtered views to the pages it is showing below error
This view cannot be displayed because it exceeds the list view threshold ....
IF I navigate the view in the list it's returning zero records with out any error page . But no records.
Is there a known issue with filtering large lists by lookup column? Any other troubleshooting suggestions? Everything I'm doing here is through the web interface.

Thank you for your reply. Yeah it’s default limit. But when I created view based on some filter condition on lookup column it’s not working.
For example:
Created a View based on Lookup column DEPT using filter condition Dept = HR , returned 1400 items
Created another View based on Lookup column DEPT using filter condition Dept=Admin , returned 3600 items
Adding this list view webparts to the page also working fine , displaying the results .
After adding one item to this list , both the views are not displaying any results. Now the count is 5001.(it exceeded the list view threshold)
The page where the list view web parts are added throwing the below error.
This view cannot be displayed because it exceeds the list view threshold (5000 items) enforced by the administrator.
To view items, try selecting another view or creating a new view. If you do not have sufficient permissions to create views for this list, ask your administrator to modify
the view so that it conforms to the list view threshold.
Learn about
creating views for large lists.
I am experiencing this problem only with lookup columns, Choice and site columns are working fine in this same situation .
Thanks,

Move sharepoint 2010 list to 2013 with lookup columns

Hi all,
Iam planning to move my sharepoint 2010 list to 2013.I done this using save site as template.But the look up columns are showing empty data.Can u please let me know the best solution to do this.
Regards,
Praveen

The reason the lookup column doesn’t work anymore in your SharePoint 2013 list is because Save
Site as Template, preserve all the list settings. Therefore, the lookup column still points to the original list which
was located on your SharePoint 2010 list. The lookup column stores GUID of the web, list, and the field to which it points
and GUID are unique IDs that identifies a list/library/site/feature in a farm.
Using SharePoint Manager you can find the LookupList, LookupWebId and LookupField of
your old SharePoint 2010 lookup column and compare it with your new 2013 lookup column. You will see the difference.
There are two approach to get your values in lookup again.
1(a). Create a new list and update the lookup values.
1(b). Delete the lookup column and create a new lookup column and point it to the new list created in the above point.
2. Update the SchemaXml property
of the lookup column through SharePoint Manager.
I will provide you with a good reference on how to use SharePoint Manager while managing your lookup columns. http://blog.johnsworkshop.net/moving-lists-with-lookup-columns-inside-your-site-collection/

Hi
XantosX5 ,
Thank you for your posting!
According to your description, I try to reproduce your scenario in my SharePoint Server 2013 environment.
I create a lookup column in a list and create a workflow 2013 for the list. In the workflow, I add Send an email action. Then I display the lookup column in the body of the email as the below figure:
When I start the workflow, it works fine.
Have you installed
the workflow manager 1.0 cumulative update 1 ? It can be the point. If not, please install it.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Best Regards,
Eric

How do I strip special characters in SSRS for Lookup columns with Multiple Selections?

Hello all,
Please let me know if I am posting in the wrong location.
I am building reports against my SharePoint List (actually a library). 1 of the columns I want to display in the report is a Lookup column that allows Multiple lookups. Problem is that the SharePoint Web Service call GetListItems returns the values with the item id and ";#" combination. For example:
122;#Apple;#112;#Carrot
but I need the following format:
Apple, Carrot
Following this great article posting - http://www.sharepointu.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx
I was able to drop the first part using the following code
function GetNameFromSP(pFullID as string) as string
dim strRet as string
dim iPos as integer
if pFullID = nothing then return ""
if pFullID = "" then return ""
iPos = Instr(pFullID, ";")
if iPos < 1 then return pFullID
return Mid(pFullID, iPos +2)
end function
But it does not replace the subsquent id references.
Anyone done this before that can provide me tips?
Thanks!

All,
Here is the updated code that resolves my issue (a coworker of mine provided the following code):
Function TrimMultiLookup(ByVal s As String) As String
        Dim combStr As String
        Dim array As String()
        Dim c As Integer
        combStr = String.Empty
        array = Split(s, ";#")
        Console.WriteLine(array.Length)
        For c = 1 To array.Length - 1 Step 2
            combStr += array(c) + ", "
        Next
        Return Left(combStr, combStr.Length - 2)
    End Function

How to change the background color for lookup column options in sharepoint 2007

Hi,
I have a custom List with 10 fields,and in the edit form we want to display only 6 fields,
So I have customized it with sharepoint designer 2007 ,designed a new custom edit form(Insert->ShaerPoint Controls->Custom List Form)
We are using IE8 Browser,and the site has JQuery 1.8 loaded .
The lookup columns is getting rendered as textbox and dropdown arrow image,instead of select html element.
When we click on arrow image,its displaying the values magically,So I am unable to highlight the options with text "ABC" in yellow background color
basically in the input textbox its storing all the lookup values as "ID|value "in choices attribute (I saw this in browser dev tools)
I tried to set the textbox color everytime it loses focus using blur,however its always returning the previous value instead of current selected value.
Is there any way we can achieve this,Any solutions/thoughts
Thanks everyone..

hi i bet you need to amend your jquery script to get onclick values and put it with like append HTML if you want to use Jquery.
Also did you know you could use javascript in calculated column with type number?

SharePont 2013 Document Library lookup Column Properties not Showing Correctly when editing in Word

Hi
I keep seeing this issue albeit intermittently. I have set up a doc library for my users which has a custom content type (lookup, metadata columns, etc) . They all appear perfectly most of the time except the lookup column. Sometimes is just
decides to display the title field of the current library and not the lookup list title . It is weird as it has been working perfectly for ages given the library is populated with valid documents.
There are some fixes listed here. Has anyone got any experience of this?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the lookup column not display well while editing in word.
Did you customize the Document Information Panel?
I recommend you edit your custom document information panel or create a new document information panel, then re-publish it to check whether it works.
https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/Create-or-edit-a-custom-Document-Information-Panel-for-a-content-type-b701a9af-3ea6-4c1a-9e1c-75363bd987c9?ui=en-US&rs=en-GB&ad=GB
Or you can also use the methods in the post you have pasted to check whether it works.
As the limitation of the environment, we could not reproduce the issue in our environment.
I would suggest you open a case to Microsoft Customer Service via Phone.
Thanks,
Jason
