SharePoint Designer Error – “could not save the list changes to the server”

Posted on April 5, 2016 by j5423

I got the SharePoint designer error when I tried to create a new display form for a list that was imported from Access. Then I checked the ULS log and found this:
“The ListFormBody attribute in the forms schema was found but no child elements exist. Failed with 0x80004005”
Tried different solutions including clear user cache, designer cache, etc., and none of them worked. Finally I reduced the list size to below 5000 and it fixed the issue.

    Thanks, not sure how this is related to creating a custom List Form error but it did work after I scaled back the List Threshold to 5,000.

    It is odd that I was able to create a Display Form for another External list on the same site/farm even before I made the change. Oh well!
