Type: select limited to 1000 options maximum

[JTNMW]

Type: select fields retrieving option values from contentTypes with 1000+ records only show first 1000 values.

Is there scope for infinite Scroll (with autocomplete/search) to be implemented to type: select to allow unlimited dropdown options to be available

Hi, what do you mean by 'Is there scope for' ?

It's not on my immediate to-do list, but we'd happily welcome PR's / code contributions. :-)

(you can override the limit in contenttypes.yaml too, IIRC)

hi bob, raising the limit in contenttypes.yaml doesn't seem to have an effect once you get beyond 1000.

If the limit is set to over 1000 the array of options returned is increased (i've checked this by dumping the options var in select.html.twig and i can get more than 1000 results), but it seems that it is the Vue.js component itself that is then limiting the number of options displayed in the select dropdwon to 1000 max.

I've being trying to build in the infinite scroll function into the select.vue component, but not sure how to get changes in the select.vue to be cascaded to the main bolt.js. Im just not familiar enough with vue.js, webpack etc. What do i need to do to get changes in vue components to be represented in the Bolt CMS. If i can do this and find a fix, i'd be more than happy to PR!

You might need to rebuild the files.

cd vendor/bolt/core
npm install
npm run build

(chug chug chug)

cp -rf public/assets/* ../../../public/assets

Hopefully resolved with PR #2750. The number of options displayed will now match the value given in the limit: property of the field in the contentType.yaml. If no limit is set it defaults to 99999.

Fixed in #2750
