mworld Limit on select list size?
Is there a technical limit on the number of option values you can have in a selection list in SF? I realize there is a practical limit as far as usability goes, but I'm asking about a hard limitation.
Thanks,
Mauricio
The maximum number of entries you can have in a standard or custom picklist is determined by the total number of characters allowed in the picklist, which is 15,000 characters. Note that each entry includes a linebreak and a return character that are not visible. These two additional characters per entry are counted as part of the 15,000 character limit.
Additional Limits for Standard Picklists
For standard picklists, each entry cannot exceed 40 characters; this limit does not include the linebreak and return character.
For standard picklists in organizations that use record types or the translation workbench, you can have an unlimited number of entries with the following exceptions for special picklists:
Additional Limits for Custom Picklists
You can create custom picklists that have up to 1000 entries and 255 characters per entry.
Custom multi-select picklists can contain 150 values of 40 characters per value, and users can select up to 100 at a time on a record.
