CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have a huge list of multiple options of my Custom Field.
Suddenly my Firefox browser has stopped rendering a list of multiple options within the last line of the list, so I'm not able to see Option Value, Default, Weight and Status of my last "Option". Also, there is no button visible at the bottom for adding a "New Option".

Since there is no error/warning message displayed on screen, what could it be? Is there a setting for displaying only X options per page (with a pagination) for editing a list of multiple options? How could I fix this issue?

Theoretically you don't have limitations on certain amount of options, but I'm reporting that there is an issue with a list that contains more than 500 options (for checkboxes) and I don't know how could I resolve this issue.
Both of my browsers IE & FF suddenly interrupted rendering the page at the beginning of the last line (last option).

I have very large amount of max PHP memory reserved for CiviCRM (like 512MB) and I don't see no warning messages, it's not browser oriented issue, because the same thing is happening on several configurations, and if I delete my last Option from the database, mysteriously the same behavior is happening to the second last line.

Ok, thanks for your reply.
Is there any CiviCRM object (multiple option, tagging system, or anything) that supports storage of thousands of entities?

The main purpose of this is tagging: something that should tag an Individual, or an organization and this information I should also be able to use in an advanced search form.

Of course.. an example: I have to add tags to individuals who sells certain brands (like Nike, Adidas, Michelin, IBM, Apple, Coca-Cola, etc.). Those tags should help me for my search criteria; if I'd like to search for all clients who sells Bang & Olufsen, I would select that tag (multiple option custom field) in my advanced search, and see my results.

Text field is not acceptable for redundancy, typo and spelling reasons, but something like freetagging would be just perfect for this purpose. Unfortunately, I've been told that there will be at most 200 options for this purpose and now, after almost a year of using this application, there are more than 500 brands presented as checkboxes.

I know that it sound ridiculous now, but then, that seemed like quite a good idea.

Agree, but sometimes it's like A-D group has more than 50% of options... but I see your point.
