RE: DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_NUMBER_FIELDS exceeded when not conducting a mass event re ticket #26810

You may just want to set it to None, but check out the description in documentation.

Subject: DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_NUMBER_FIELDS exceeded when not conducting a mass event re ticket #26810

I have an Admin based application which is somewhat ambitious for the Admin. Perhaps.  My central model (substance) has a lot of stuff to do when it is saved. I received the error[1] when saving a substance. Not all substances. In fact only one out of twenty or so I was testing.

I thought it must be data related because the substance wasn't different than the others.

I could work around the problem by increasing the DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_NUMBER_FIELDS to 1045

I have left it at 1500 for now but I'm somewhat concerned. Why is it so?
I don't think there are more than the default 1000 fields. I haven't counted them though.

Thanks for any elucidation

Mike
