Overview
From version 8.21.0 onwards, Scaffolding allows Confluence administrators to set the default limit for List Data items. When this limit is exceeded, the processing stops and an error message is 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 or select type, may cause performance issues for Confluence.
It is also tedious for users 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 complete type is more appropriate in that use case.
Enabling or disabling the List Data limit
This feature is enabled, by default, when upgrading to Scaffolding 8.21.0. The default limit value is 250.
Refer to the Accessing Scaffolding's administrator settings guide to know how to get access to the settings page.
Go to List Data limit settings header.
Choose the Enabled toggle to enable or disable the List Data limit.
Update the value to set a new limit in the List Data limit input field (defaults to 250).
Choose Save to update the settings.
