Hi,

We are having an issue with the Simple Select field, we are using this field to create a country field, about 235 options, there is an issue to save the options, the first time we added all 235 options and save it, only about 50 options were saved, second time we added all options again, only about 120 saved, now again, it is about 10 times that we are trying to add all 235 options but still we cannot, can anyone please help us on this issue?

I have the same problem. On my own testserver i can add options. I copied the site to another server and i can't add options anymore. I played around with it in the database. When i delete a lot of the options there... it works again and i can add options through administrator. But if i have all the options added again through phpmyadmin, i can't add or even delete options from administrator-side.

The save button doens't work anymore and the option is gone and i'm back in the options list (even on save and close).

I'm looking to change storage but maybe its a problem with different versions of database (on the testserver it was more recent and on the live server a bit older (3.4.3.2)

When i have a solution i will mention it...

Greetings,

Joris

To be clear... i can add options through phpmyadmin and delete them. I just can't do it through the administrator side when i'm editing the field...

Check your php max_input_vars setting, it should be 5000, also sometimes post_max_size is set too low.

Yes, your right Klas... It's 1000... but i can't change that. its hosted on a server i'm not administrating. And htaccess seems to give a blank page when i add it to that...

I will check for other ways to curcumvent the setting...

Thanks,

Joris

The host had the possibillity to use a own php5.ini file. I added

max_input_vars = 6000

and put it in a specific folder... and now it works. I can add and delete options from administrator :-)

Thanks,

Joris
