Cannot add new page to multi-page form

Add new pages to a multi-page form in ChronoForms.

Overview

The issue occurs because the form's page and field data exceeds the default limit for form submissions.
Enable the "Increase max fields" setting in the CF settings. If the problem persists, increase the server's max_input_vars value to 5000.

I have a multi-page form that currently has 5 pages set up. Everything is working fine.However when I try to add a sixth page, the page settings and fields are not being saved. I have tried clicking both on "Save" and "Quick Save" with the same result.Here's a short video showing the issue - https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/38784433?key=36ae4a55e83cc2c82de4b51c824bfe36

Hello,Thanks for your response. I wasn't aware of that setting. I had it set to "No"; when I changed it to "Yes" I was able to continue to add pages to my form.My max_input_vars is currently set to 1000. If I run into this issue again (even with "Increase max fields" set to "Yes"), what do you recommend I change the value of max_input_vars to?
