Reason behind group by option is disabled for a column in list control

ramireddy · ‎07-19-2016

Hi,

In list control, we have 10 columns. Out of those 10 columns, for 1 column, in context-menu, "Group by" & Other charting options are disabled. I would like to understand what is the reason behind this?

Thanks

Hi Sergiu,

After playing with various column lengths, I understood that till 255, it allows "Group by" After that it won't allow "group by".

Thanks

Is that a date/time field? Grouping on date/time fields is not allowed.

Hi Sergiu,

It's a string field with length specified as 500.

Thanks

Why would you want to group on a string that has a length of 500?

Hi Sergiu,

Is it issue with length? What is the maximum length we can set so "grouping" is enabled?

Thanks
