Is there a limit on the number of items in a drop down list in a custom field?

[Christine Harris]

I see that this has been asked previously, but that was 4 years ago and I'm hoping to hear that there has been some thought given to making the drop down lists more powerful and helpful.

A first step would be to take off any limitation to the number of items in a drop down list.  Is that now possible, or is it on the development roadmap?

Hi Christine, 

We currently have a limit of 50 items for the Custom Field drop down. Here is a JSON list of our resource limits if that helps: https://trello.com/1/resource/limits 

We have this as an existing feature suggestion so you aren’t alone in wanting this as we have had other users interested in this as well. With that in mind, I’ve added you as a “+1” to our ticket, which you can access here: TRELLO-151

I would also recommend you to visit that suggestion, login with your Atlassian account, and click Start watching this issue on the right panel. You can also comment on why this feature is important to you or your business. This will help our product and engineering team understand more about which functionalities our users are interested in. Also, when the ticket is updated by our product team, you'll be notified via email.

You can learn more about this by reading our Implementation of New Features Policy:
New Features Policy.

I hope this helps, but let us know if you have any questions!
