    how do i extend limit of dropdown select box options on profile fields …. i want to create a field with 1000 dropdown select options, for now i think the limit is just 300 options ..any more than that it would give *The link you followed has expired.* error if you try to save and edit again …is there a way of increasing it ..or is there a way to merge profile fields .. so ild fill about 200 in each ..then mercge them so it doesnt reach its limit ..or is there a way to create a flyout-dropdown select box options to reduce options for each?

    Hi,
    There is no such limit on options in a selectbox.

    If the error is happening in the dashboard where you add/edit profile field then the most probable reason is your server has a limit on maximum number of post variables and you will need to increase it

    http://php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.max-input-vars

    The default limit is 1000 which might be getting exhausted due to hidden fields etc. Contact the server admin and ask them to modify the limit for you.

    Regards
    Brajesh
