I've added a lookup field to a document library, and it is possible to choose values as expected in "Edit properties" for a single document. However, when in Edit in Datasheet mode all of the dropdowns for the lookup field are EMPTY!!!! Is this just the way it is, or have I done something wrong?

Has anyone managed to get lookup fields to work in Edit in Datasheet mode?

  • I can't help solve your problem, but I can confirm that it does work in datasheet mode. I've got several fields added to a document content type and they all can be set in datasheet mode. – Daniel Revell Sep 01 '09 at 17:08

Required lookup fields do not show up in datasheet view. You need to make the lookup field optional.

I had the same problem with my fields defined as site columns. After opening and saving column definition in list, datasheet started to work perfectly...
