Too many values in the field makes the tab time out

[Joe Mallon]

Having too many options for a project-specific field makes the Project Specific tab time out. The tab doesn't render, so new values for other fields cannot be added.

Timeout error when there are "too many" values

Okay, now the problem is "only" the custom field with your 1000 option values and other Project Specific Custom Fields are not affected. Are you sure it is a good idea having a custom field with so many option values? What's the reason behind this? I cannot image how to even set this field in a create or edit issue dialog? Does this create or edit issue forms time-out as well? (Should be, because it has the same problem in reading and loading this huge amount of option values to the client.)

[Joe Mallon]

Correct - only with the field with many values. When you tested this, what was the most values you used?

The field is a dropdown list. Users select the value they want. No problems with Create or Edit.

[Joe Mallon]

This is still an issue. Are there any plans to address it?

[Holger Schimanski]

Can you measure how many seconds it takes until the error message appears? (This is your browser time out for requests.)

[Joe Mallon]

1 minute exactly

[Holger Schimanski]

Okay, 1 min is standard browser request timeout. What type is this custom field?

• Project Specific Select Field (simple)
• Project Specific Select Field
• Project Specific Multi Select Field

Project Specific Select Field (simple)

It's the same field for which you helped me with data entry.

[Holger Schimanski]

I have set timeout to 3 min. Please provide feedback, if this does not help.
