If you want all items from the home folder list library to show in a form, do not deploy lists

To fix a list showing "No selection" in a form go to the list library (Home Folder) and un-deploy the list



When to Deploy Lists:

Deploying lists/child lists is only used when you want to specify or limit particular items from your main list library to show in specific folders/projects/jobs.

To do this go to the Home Folder > List Library > tick the list and deploy into the desired project folder.

Then move into the project folder > lists > open empty list > select "Add Item"

Start typing and the library will "suggest" items that are stored in your library. Then select which items you want to show in that folder

Deploying/Building Lists from the Project Up to the list library:

Multiple projects often use the same template deployed from the home folder

If you have a large volume of list items specific to each project that need to be in the same list field in a template, you may consider building the lists from within the project folder


Create a blank list in the list library, deploy to projects, move into the project folder > Lists and upload your list items into the empty list

This process is instead of deploying specific items from the list library down to the projects.
