adding values to dropdown list was created by Vivienne09

Hi, I've been adding values to a dropdown list of towns and villages, for the ad_city field, and now for some reason each time I add a value, when I save, it goes straight back to the General tab, rather than staying in the Fields tab and giving me the message that the field has been saved. It also deletes the added, completed values since last save.
Any suggestions? I thought it had fixed itself because it started accepting the changes again, but now it's again malfunctioning.
thank you
Vivienne

How many values do you have ?
Maybe there is too much "input" on the page. And in your php settings you have a parameter for the max number of inputs.

So not all parameters are sent in the POST request. and also the "view" parameter is not sent, so it's while you are going to the general page, and nothing is sent.

You should try with less values.. to see that.

THen you have two solutions: increase max number of inputs in php.ini
OR
Use a external table with all cities inside of settings cities inside the field settings.

Thank you for the reply. It first stopped allowing me to save new values after 229 items, then it allowed me to add 11 more, and then stopped again. It seems strange that if it's a problem with the max number, that it would have allowed me to ad the extra ten or so after stopping the first time.
I tried to use an external table but the instructions aren't detailed in the documentation and I couldn't get it to work. I couldn't see how the component would know where to look for the table - am I meant to upload it somewhere in Joomla? I'd really prefer to use a table as it's much less labour intensive!
Thanks again
Vivienne

PS here's the php.ini file string - I can't see anywhere that I would change the max value - can you help?
magic_quotes_gpc = Off
zend_extension=/usr/local/php53/lib/php/extensions/ioncube.so
zend_extension=/usr/local/php53/lib/php/extensions/ZendOptimizer.so

Hello, in php.ini file it's : max_input_vars

Regarding external table, there is a field to set the table name, a field to set which column contains the "value" (value store in the database), a field to set which column to use for the "label" (value that will be displayed in the dropdown.
