So I have pretty big form (about 130 fields). I got to about 30 or so, and it shows max vars around 1200. So I just tested:
I had 1159, added 1 checkbox and 1 text field, it jumped to 1208!! Then I saved the form and it jumped to 1270!!!
What is going on? How exactly are those counted? I each field has about 25 vars, which is a lot, why don't you use json or something? It cannot be normal for me to raise max_input_vars to 10k as I did. Or is there a bug somewhere?

Hi SubCon,

As you have seen the ChronoForms admin is a very large form. CFv5 does have an option to use Ajax to submit them but it looks as this has been removed (or maybe not yet added) to CFv6.

Not sure what you mean. I can understand that this is a very large form. And I also know that it is standard practice to use json or other way of serialization to eliminate this problem. I now finished my form. I have 7100 vars. I upped my php setting to 10000. Also the form is so sluggish I had to up max execution time to 120 seconds too and also php memory.
You may say that the form is to large for common use, but after about 30-35 fields it already started to be slow. And max vars over 2000. This is new version of chronoforms that you developed. So you do the math.

Btw, I just remembered, This is a renew of the same project I worked on couple of years ago. And there was the same big form on chronoform4, and it had no problems like that at all. It still is online and works.

Hi SubCon,

Just FYI Max is the developer, not me, I still know very little about v6.

Hi,

The next update should have some improvements regarding the issues mentioned here, and hopefully the max vars will not be an issue, unless you server has any security modules installed.

Best regards,
