TYPO3 Core

Hi Heinz,

the default limit is there for a reason.
In most cases (> 90%) the 20 subgroup limit is sufficient.
Removing the limit would also mean changing the database field to a type that could potentially hold "unlimited" subgroups.
So we'd need to ship TYPO3 with sub-optimal settings by supplying something like a TEXT or even BIGTEXT fields to deal with 10% of the usecases.
That doesn't make sense.

But luckily you can change the system via configuration to comply with your usecase.

If you need more groups in the field you need to make two changes:

• Adapt the TCA to remove the limit in the backend
• Make sure the actual database field is big enough to hold the data
