You might think this episode is all about Formula 1, but it is actually all about adoption; more specific about the biggest 3 adoption propositions that we can think of in Microsoft 365. This means, going through the core applications (Outlook, SharePoint and Teams) and talking about what feature gives us the best value! Adoption …
Users were complaining about a slow lookupfield (shown as dropdowns) that contained over 2000 items. It was not only loading slow, they had issues with typing in values as well.

Strange thing on the SharePoint sites here. I am working with a long list of items and I am using key filters (metadata navigation functionality).
