[Resolved] Limts on number of fields

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: It seems like I have hit some kind of limit on the number of custom fields I can add to a field group. If I try to add another field, it does not save correctly. If I delete another field, then I can add another field. Is there a maximum number of fields? How can I increase this setting?

Solution: Ask your hosting company to help increase a PHP configuration called "MaxInputVars". Yours is currently set at 1000, so try increasing that configuration value to be 3000.

I am trying to:

add custom fields to a group, but I have reached some limitations, because when I add another field or field value is does not save the added fields. When I delete a field, I can add another field again.

Hi, the problem is probably related to a PHP configuration variable called MaxInputVars which limits how much data can be submitted by a form. To resolve this you should get in touch with your hosting provider and ask them to increase this PHP variable's number up to at least 1500 or 3000. If that does not resolve the problem, I'll be glad to take a closer look. Please let me know what you find out and we can go from there.
