AEM Content Fragments: Dropdown Limits in Metadata Schemas?

[ksuayan_shc]

Q: On AEM 6.4.2 for Content Fragments, are there any item count limits for Dropdowns menu items in custom Metadata Schemas?

I am not seeing all of the entries in my file.

I've defined the entries of the Dropdown using an external json file as follows.

Method based on this blog post:

Hi,

Can you click on Add Manually options and see if you can see all the values of JSON there, if not there could be issue with your JSON file.

I tried for almost 50 options, can see all.

Hello Arun,

I ran the json file through https://jsonlint.com/ and it is Valid.

Also, clicking on Add manually does not read the json file:

Also, the total number of menu entries in this JSON file is 250.

Ahh ok, For me it is not showing any error while clicking on add manually and loading parsed JSON options. I tried in AEM 6.4

And I can see all the options in dropdown, I tired for 251 options.

As Arun pointed out, this seems to work - if you are not getting the same results - could be a bug. Please open a support ticket.
