Limits
Every limit here either stops you with a message or says so in the interface. These are the numbers to plan around.
#Every limit
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Name length | 100 characters | Use 100 characters or fewer |
Text value | 500 characters, one line | Use 500 characters or fewer / Use a single line |
Description | 250 characters | Use 250 characters or fewer |
Number value | 15 digits before the dot, 10 after | Enter a number, for example 42 or -4.25 |
Date value | Years 1000 to 9999 | Choose a date |
Variables listed per scope in the catalogue | 500, most recently changed first | The catalogue says Showing the 500 most recently changed variables. Search covers these only. The Search filter list sees the same 500. |
Catalogue rows per page | 25 | Use the page controls under the table. |
Different variables indexed per page | 200 | Beyond 200, extra variables still show on the page but are not counted in usage, the Search filter or the side panel. |
Retries when a value cannot be loaded | 1, after a short pause | Then [unavailable] with This value could not be loaded. Reload the page to try again. |
Types per variable | 1, fixed at creation | The type selector is disabled when editing. |
#A few things worth knowing
There is no limit on how many pages can show the same variable.
The 500-variable list limit is per scope: each space and the global scope have their own.
A reached limit is reported in the interface, not in a log you have to find.
