Is there any other constraint on this dropdown entry?</p> <p>; How many GET/POST/COOKIE input variables may be accepted<br /> ; max_input_vars = 1000<br /> max_input_vars = 3000 </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/drop-down-boxes-not-saving-bulk-insert-entries#post-22142 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 14:37:21 +0000 yuniar 22142@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>myrctech -- the main issue is the "max_input_vars" setting of the PHP on your server. You'll need to update the setting.<br /> If you don't have access to the PHP configuration file, you'll need to update to v4.2</p> <p>We've improved the code to overcome the "max_input_vars" setting. So that you'll be able to add large amount of dropdown. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/drop-down-boxes-not-saving-bulk-insert-entries#post-22125 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 00:30:18 +0000 myrctech 22125@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hello, is these problem sovled?</p> <p>I have been trying to add a dropdown with 25 entires (with bulk insert), this was working good until 230 entries.<br /> After 230 entries, i read the database the option added into table, but the 'live' field is always switched to '0' , and when I try to add another round of bulk insert, some more entries were set with live=0.</p> <p>can anyone help?</p> <p>thanks!, </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/drop-down-boxes-not-saving-bulk-insert-entries#post-21405 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 08:06:56 +0000 vickiwatson 21405@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I had a similar problem with checkboxes.

If I create a drop down.. I don't delete the first 3 option.. I insert first the bulk option.. after the insert that's the time I deleted the first 3 options.. try it </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/drop-down-boxes-not-saving-bulk-insert-entries#post-17849 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:18:02 +0000 donaldcummins 17849@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I have 6 drop-down boxes, and in each of them I am trying to save 174 elements with the Bulk Insert option. For the first couple of drop downs it saves them all, but then after that the program process of saving takes many minutes and does not respond. What happens is either it does not save or it saves but a third or so of the entries in the prior drop downs has been deleted. So I begin again and the same thing winds up happening. I tried to split the entries up and submit 40 at a time and that seems to work, but when I get to the third or fourth drop down the same thing happens. Since the drop downs are on the same page in my multi page form, I was thinking that maybe there is a limit that the page can accommodate? Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks. </p>
