I have a SharePoint 2010 list with several person lookup fields that need to be converted to allow specifying multiple people. I have found a major issue, where it appears that Infopath somehow corrupts the list any time a multiple person lookup field is used. This causes IE9 to crash whenever inserting a new row via the Datasheet view.
I have tried a number of things to fix this with no success.
Steps to reproduce are:
- Create a new SharePoint list
- Create a Person lookup field and set it to allow multiple people.
- Use the Datasheet view to insert a new record. Success!
- Open infopath to customize the form.
- Make no changes and publish the InfoPath form.
- Refresh the list and navigate to the Datasheet view, and attempt to insert a new record. IE9 Crash!
We have this on multiple computers running Windows 7 Enterprise, IE9, and fully patched. I've tried new Datasheet DLL files and other items to no success. Suggestions? This seems like a major Infopath bug.
