SharePoint 2013 list item in drop-down

Question

Created a page in which I have added a drop-down box . The drop-down box fetches all the ID's of a list .

I am fetching the ID by using REST API . In the endpoint url I have added $top = 1000 to return only the top 1000 item IDs.

But the drop-down list only shows the item IDs till 2000. But I am having 2015 items in the list.

Is there any other way to achieve this?

I want the top 1000 ID's to be displayed in the drop-down box.

Answer 1

this may be because the "top=1000" attribute will retrieve only the 1st 1000 items mostly based on other filters you might have applied. if the "ID=2000" is the 1000th item then it will show the item with the ID=2000 as the last item. there are two options you may want to try.

• Increase the retrieval limit example, top=1015
• Try to use Sort "&$orderby=Id desc"

Hope one of the above method provides you the required result.

Answer 2

If you want the latest created items IDs, Sort list items in descending order while fetching the list items using REST api. Use orderby clause like given below:

siteUrl/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('ListName')/items?$select=Title,ID&$orderby=ID desc&$top=1000
