“Include Content” is disabled

Question

On one of the site collections, when saving a list as list template the "Include Content" checkbox is disabled (greyout). This issue occurs for all lists under all sites. Is this a security feature or is there specific templates that can't include content when saving a list as a list template. I did very that there was no orphan references on the list.

Please help.

Thanks,

Based on Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.SaveAsTemplatePage, the Include Content checkbox is disabled for the following reasons:

For Lists:

1. SPList.ExcludeFromTemplate is true
2. Number of items exceeds the maximum threshold for the Web application

code:

if (this.m_ListSel.ExcludeFromTemplate || this.m_ListSel.IsThrottled && !contextWeb.Site.WebApplication.CurrentUserIgnoreThrottle())
{
  this.CbSaveData.Checked = false;
  this.CbSaveData.Enabled = false;
}

For Sites:

1. The site is a Meeting Workspace
2. The site is a Wiki

code:

bool flag = SPMeeting.IsMeetingWorkspaceWeb(contextWeb) || contextWeb.WebTemplateId == 4;
if (flag)
{
  this.CbSaveData.Checked = false;
  this.CbSaveData.Enabled = false;
}
