I just built a custom search list, and the default value for MAXROWS is 500. But somehow, when I use it within an add or edit form, it is passing back 101 rows instead of 500. Any idea as to why?

Thanks!

    Hi Arlette - CRM defaults to capping all search lists to 100 rows. You can add a key to your web config to set the cap at a higher (or lower) number. But note that this will affect ALL search lists in your CRM. And the larger the return set, the longer the search forms will take to run.

    Blackbaud has a KB with the exact steps required to make the change: https://kb.blackbaud.com/knowledgebase/articles/Article/51311
