CF8 lost 5 pages on save

pimh 22h ago

Hi Max, 

I got a bit frustrated. My form is rather complex. Many parts worked nicely, but had to insert a new page. After a save I lost about 5 pages which had lots of actions to work as intended. So my question is, are there limitations to the number of pages or elements that can be in a form? Or is there a limit due to database string limitations? If so, this might explain why I lost a lot of my work. I hope I can find some backup of this form to restore/reuse, but till now no luck. 

Hope this does not happen anymore and that we figure out how this happened. This is horrible. 

Kind regards, Pim

Also I can't rename the page anymore, similar to another post. After save it is back with the orignal name page_xxx.

Hi pimh

Go to the ChronoForms8 Settings page and make sure the "increase max fields" settings is enabled:

Without this you can cross the server's max input vars and all extra vars will be ignored.

Hi Max, 

Many thanks for this setting. Didn't know of it, or let alone what it does. Why is this not default on yes?

Luckily my older form was in the backup, so I have to merge things manually, but work is not completely lost. 

Kind regards, Pim

Hi pimh

Great, it's not enabled by default because it was in a recent update.
