Is there any limit in DDBK

[former_member199125]

hi Guys,

Is there any limit on number of values in dropdown by key.

In my app due to large number of values in ddbk, i was unable to select the value from dropdown. Any ideas?

Regards

Hi,

I do not have correct idea but as per note Note 1520507 - WEB: Country Region Dropdown bad performance, it seems that 300 entries might be the limit.

I hope this might be useful for you.

Thanks,

Chandra

I think long before you hit any technical limitations, you hit usability limitations. I also follow a general guideline that if you get more than 100 or 200 entries in a DDLB it becomes pretty difficult for the user to scroll and find the entry they want. If I know I'm going to have more than 50 or so entries then I'm probably going to use an inputField and Search Help instead. This is especially true in 7.02 and higher where you have the ease of SuggestValues but the full power fo the Search Help for complex filtering.

General guidelines i follow is to use DDBI if the entries are more than 30 (Number varies 30 to 300 depends on the experts ). DDBK is usefull for Domain values and smaller list.
