Bug #14713
closed
Selections in the group settings get discarded without notification
0%
Description
In the group settings (Web->List->Root->Backend usergroup) you can only select a limited number of entries in the various list boxes:
(1) The maximum number of selectable entries in the 'Modules' list is 15.
(2)(3) The maximum number of selectable entries in the 'Tables (listing)' and 'Tables (modify)' lists is 20.
(4) The maximum number of selectable entries in the 'Allowed excludefields' is ~310.
(5) The maximum number of selectable entries in the 'Subgroups' list is 20.
When you select more than the allowed entries and save the group settings, the system silently unselects all selections that exceed these limits. No warning message is given that the system didn't accept all entries.

Correction: (4) The maximum number of selectable entries in the 'Allowed excludefields' is about 310 (sorry for the inconvenience, the 'tilde' seems to be an internal marker in mantis)

I can confirm this bug, also for 3.8 final!!!
'Tables (listing)' and 'Tables (modify)' allows max. 20 entries, which is rather unsmart. Is there a hotpatch for this?

I modified the $TCA with a small extension. I still think that the numbers should be raised in the core.

I absolutely agree.
However, someone argued with a possible speed drawback when having bigger MySQL data fields. If this is is really an issue, it should be considered.

Limits in current trunk:
(1) The maximum number of selectable entries in the 'Modules' list is 100.
(2)(3) The maximum number of selectable entries in the 'Tables (listing)' and 'Tables (modify)' lists is 100.
(4) The maximum number of selectable entries in the 'Allowed excludefields' is 1000.
(5) The maximum number of selectable entries in the 'Subgroups' list is still 20.

As Susanne noted, the limits were raised in TYPO3 v4.1.0 (see #16553). So closing this issue.
