I have a single list that exceeds 5000 items, and have taken the necessary steps (indexing columns, creating views that limit items displayed, etc.). This seems to be working, however I have found that users without Admin priveleges to the list still get the following error message when attempting to add new items via a custom newform.aspx page:
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 aboutcreating views for large lists.
While I understand that views are affected by the threshold, I don't understand why users would get the message when attempting to add new items. Interestingly, they get the message when using a custom new form, but when using the default new form do not.
Is there some type of setting on the custom new form that I need to change to get rid of the message? I know that I can increase the list threshold, but that doesn't seem to be the right way to handle the new form issue since the items are not being displayed in any way (i.e. lookup field, view).
Thanks in advance!
