Author Topic: autocomplete limited to 12 on CiviCRM webform (Read 411 times)

i have a webform and i have enabled CiviCRM processing for two contact types: Contact 1 is an individual and Contact 2 is an organization (relationship to Contact 1) and Contact 2 is autocomplete field

Problem.
On the webform, Contact 2 limits search to only 12 organizations,for example, if i start typing 'aa', i get only 12 contacts listed and the create prompt to add new contact (organizational contact) doesn't show up either. Is there any way to increase this limit? In CiviCRM the Current employer field (Contact 2) autocomplete field is not limited.

Any help will be much appreciated.

I think you're referring to the new EntityRef widget in 4.5 which has infinite scrolling of results. It's really nice, I agree, but webform_civicrm uses an older widget (tokeninput instead of select2) that doesn't support infinite results.
The number 12 isn't user-configurable, but you could hack the module's code to up that amount (just search the code for the number 12).
Would be great to get some community support/funding to upgrade webform_civicrm to use select2.
