We are happy to announce that as of this week, delegation of complex objects to SharePoint objects is now supported.\u00a0 \u00a0Query \/ filter operations on objects such as Person and Choice are now supported.\u00a0 \u00a0See the table below for details.<\/p>\n

Query \/ filter operations using complex objects in the past were subject to the delegation limits of (500 – 2000) records since the filter operation was performed locally.\u00a0 Now these query operations will be performed on the back-end SharePoint server and will not have these limitations.<\/p>\n

If you have an existing application that is currently limited by the 500-2000 record limitation that uses complex objects, open the app, save it and republish it to make use of this new capability.<\/p>\n

In addition, we have updated the documentation to reflect that while DateTime and Date values are still not yet delegable, a null value can be delegated\u00a0 for a DateTime and Date field.\u00a0 See the\u00a0\u00a0SharePoint connector article<\/a>\u00a0for more details.<\/p>\n
