Increasing number of contacts for Soft Credit and Custom Contact Reference field
April 16, 2013, 06:09:08 pm
Soft Credit and Custom Autocomplete ‘max’ contacts in the results remain fixed at 10, where is this specified, in which file? 


http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,25606.msg108308.html#msg10830 , ( templates/CRM/Contact/Form/NewContact.tpl
 ) increasing the max: 200 worked for some basic use cases, such as selecting Contacts for Contributions or Registration.  It doesn't change "Soft Credit" and Autocomplete Custom data behavior


I'd like to increase that a bit.  Is there any reason not to increase the default to 20 or more?  There may be easily 20 or more "Smith" contacts in a medium (100k contacts) database.

Now that we have a settings system, ideally all these constants should go in the seettings table with the below defaults

Thanks but I don't follow you.  What 'below defaults'?  Where in the settings table?
