Custom dropdown list with nearly 500 items

Hello Ralf,

Please allow me some time. I have to discuss about this issue with our developer team. They are now in weekend. They will be available from tomorrow.

Thank you 🙂

Hello towhid,

is there something new related to my problem with the 500 items in the dropdown-list?

Thanks
Ralf

Hello Ralf,

Sorry for my late reply. The data length are overflowing in the table. 100 data are huge length of character. So now it is over-following. Please minimize items.

Thank you 🙂

OK, is it possible to use 500 categories in a dropdown-category-list inside a form or is there also a limit of 100?

And how can I include a hidden field for a separate category without deleting the values of a selected category in a dropdown-list? I want to use the same category list in two forms and need the separate categories as a filter for several posts.
For example: Form 1 = Adding car-ads for sale, form 2 = adding private car-fotos (cars not for sale). For both forms I need the 500 manufacturer (the same categories in a drowdown-list) and a separate hidden category, and than I will use a post to publish the car-sales-infos with, in addition, the private car-fotos of the same manufacturer and the other way around.

When I use in a form a category-dropdown-list and a hidden field with ‘category’ and the category-id, the form submitted only the category of the hidden field.

Thanks for your help.
Ralf

Hello Ralf,

Limit was set in data length in database. We did not detect about 100 or 500 items. You are first person who asked for 500 items and got the issue.

Post Fields-> Category field could be the solution for above issue. Did you tried that way. If you want to hook those categories in your form you have to create categories from Post->Categories.

Thank you 🙂
