Hi! I've built quite a big list of the multiple choice option of my custom data field.
Now my FF browser can't display the full generated HTML page, because the output HTML breaks while displaying my the list (without an obvious error message displayed on screen and no trace within the Apache error.log). I assumed the problem might be in reading the last HTML line displayed by the length of more than 900K characters within, so I've edited this file: civicrm\templates\CRM\Custom\Page\Option.tpl and added a Smarty {"\n"} for a "new carriage return" to split the godzilla line.

        {foreach from=$customOption item=row}
        <tr class="{cycle values="odd-row,even-row"} {if NOT $row.is_active} disabled{/if}">
            <td>{$row.label}</td>
            <td>{$row.value}</td>
            <td>{$row.default_value}</td>
            <td class="nowrap">{$row.weight}</td>
            <td>{if $row.is_active eq 1} {ts}Active{/ts} {else} {ts}Inactive{/ts} {/if}</td>
            <td>{$row.action}</td>
        </tr>{"\n"}
        {/foreach}
That helped, so I don't have a line that big in my source code of the page, but the result in my browser is still the same. The page breaks somewhere within that foreach loop. Maybe it's some PHP memory limitation for handling objects, so I've set memory_limit to 512M. Still no change.

What am I missing? Please help!
Thanks!

I wanted to say that there were more than 900.000 characters in a single HTML line that was generated by the foreach-loop mentioned from above. That list has been used like some kind of a tagging system, since I already use "Tags" for another, similar purpose.

How could I split my list of options? By creating another custom field with multiple options, etc, etc.?

Ok, thanks! But please tell me is this happening due to PHP limitations, or what? I'd like to increase some memory just to add a few more lines, but I don't know what to increase... 

I'd like to know if something like a free-tagging would help to solve this issue at all (as a new feature, instead of those "multiple options")? I've already mentioned free-tagging here: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,4378.msg19086.html#msg19086

I'd also like to donate and support to solve this problem, but I don't know how much would it cost.

Is there a way for me to avoid viewing a list of ALL multiple options on one page just to see a button for adding a new option?!

I think this list of multiple options should have pagination as well. Also, this button should be at the top of the page too, for usability reasons.

Sorry, for this duplicate, I forgot that I've already opened an issue:
