Overview

From version 8.21.0 onwards, Scaffolding provides an administrator setting that allows Confluence administrators to set the default limit for List Data items. When this limit is exceeded, the processing will stop and an error message will be displayed.

Why there is a limit for List Data

The List Data macro is useful for providing data options from a specific list. However, processing a huge number of List Data items, when used with the check check or select select type, may cause performance issues for Confluence.

Tip

It is also a bad experience tedious for users to have to select an option from a huge list of radio buttons, checkboxes, or dropdown menus if there are a huge number of items. Setting List Data with the auto completetype is more appropriate in that use case.

Info

This feature is enabled, by default, when upgrading to Scaffolding 8.21.0. The default limit value is 250.
