I am retrieving a select field with options but the field.getSelectOptions() only returns 1,000 records. Is there a way around this and retrieve all options of a select field?

If you know the list the field sources from, you can query for it instead.

@Steffen Andersland Hmm.. I'm just getting the custom field Id so I guess I'd have to get the custom field record first and try to get to the list?

What record is the field sourcing from? Chances are if there are more than 1000 results, that the solution you're looking for could be handled a different way. What do you intend to do with this list once you have it?

it's a custom field on an employee list that is sourcing from some other list, so preferably I'm just looking for a way to get past 1,000 options with the .getSelectOptions(). Using it in a restlet for api integration. Any other ideas?

AFAIK you can't get past the limitation. You need to search/query the source instead. Maybe you could use .setText() instead of .setValue() if you're using dynamic mode.
