I have a client who would like a drop down list () in their add new item form to be a ComboBox.. The stupid thing is, it used to be a combo box but now its a drop down box, The difference being you cant write anything in the drop down box (making it search easier)..

I think it may be an Browser issue how it displays but I haven't upgraded my browser and I use IE11..

Is there anything I have done in sharepoint that would have changed the way lookup fields are rendered when adding new items?

You now have less than 20 items in the lookup list.

This is standard behavior for a lookup column. The moment you have 20 or more selectable items in the lookup list, then the UI changes from a simple dropdown to a type ahead combo box.

  • I think its somehow related to an error that I have just noticed ( and is new some how) SP.Publishing is undefined
