Title: Is there a limit to the number of custom fields I can add to a product?
Post by: ntm91307 on November 09, 2015, 18:06:15 PM
I have a gift basket product that consists of 2 bottles of wine and a 6 piece box of fudge.  The customer gets to select from 12 different wines and 15 different flavors of fudge.  I created 2 custom fields for the wine (Bottle 1 and Bottle 2) with 12 choices each.  I've also created 6 custom fields, 1 for each piece of fudge in the box, and assigned the 15 different flavors to each of them.  When I try to add all of these to the basket product I get the two bottles and 5 of the 6 fudge selections entered.  I can only enter and save 3 of the flavors for the 6th fudge selection.  Attempting to save a 4th flavor takes me out of the Product altogether and drops my at the VirtueMart Control Panel.

By my count I need 114 custom field entries on my product and I think I've hit a limit of 100.  Is that correct?  If so, would it be possible to increase this limit a bit?

Thank you very much for your time.

Not seen this problem, but first check your server resources - http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=126888

Thank you for your reply.  I solved my problem by rethinking my approach.  Instead of the same Custom Field 6 times to get potentially six different choices I put it up one time and made Mixed an option and let the user tell me in Special Instructions what that mix should be.  Turns out to look MUCH cleaner....and easier too...:)

Thanks again....
