Directus pagination issues

  • Directus has a feature where it creates pagination in pages where there are many instances of content/card/tab/accordion blocks. This feature removes all the manual organizing we do within a page, so we need to increase the limit of block instances allowed within a page.
  • In order to increase the number of instances that can be on a page, within the CMS go to:
    • Settings gear (on the left-side panel)
    • Data model
    • The correct data model (ex: expansion panels)
    • Within the correct data model, select the Builder field (ex: expansion panel blocks)
    • Within the Builder field, select the Interface option
    • Increase the "Per Page" option to 150
    • Click the purple checkmark at the top right to save your changes
  • This fix for pagination is also cataloged in GitHub issue #2052
