Unable to Edit Field

[Parvaneh Zand]

Hi,

I've created a Dropdown field in confiform. It works properly on registration form, but I'm not able to edit the field definition and changes don't save.

It's appearance also seems odd!

what should I do to fix it?

Thanks

Hi

most probably this field has way to many choices registered

and Confluence editor fails to render a placeholder for this field

It makes sense for “select like” fields with many many options to use a different field type - a web service backed field or a  database dropdown or a smart field, serving the field options from another form

Well, it has 28 options. How many options are ok?

Thank you, I'll try your suggestion.

Depends on a size I guess... We have seen dropdows with 200+ choices doing ok.

Might be something else also. The bug/limitation is on a placeholder functionality, which is rendered by Confluence editor

And if you have a Confluence source editor installed on your instance then you csn try to edit the page in a storage format - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1210722/confluence-source-editor?hosting=server&tab=overview

as a workaround for this editor issue

Thank you, I made changes on page source and it worked.
