Drop list limit when EIP
« on: January 14, 2016, 12:50:08 PM »
Hi

There seems to be a size limit in how many entries there can be in a drop list when used in browse EIP-field. I have a customer has some 240 entries in two separate drop-fields in a browse. This works fine in a form Drop.
The drop list options-list get truncated and this breaks the entire page.
Any way to override this?

(Yes I know, I shall discuss if they really need so many entries - there is an option to close non-active entries)

I could change the fields to lookups but I already have one lookup and I can not get two lookup fileds in same browse.

Any Ideas anybody?

Which build are you using Rainer?

240 items sounds like a lot - but that's your choice, so shouldn't break it. Sounds like a simple case of a String field where StringTheory would be better. That's an ongoing process.

update --  looking here, it looks like it's using StringTheory already, so let me know the build, and if the build is up to date then maybe I need an example.

cheers
