I have about 200 and wanted to know if the dropdown selection limits the number to be displayed in the list. If so, is there a way to override?</P> Tue, 20 Jun 2017 16:34:42 GMT dxw350 2017-06-20T16:34:42Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-there-a-limit-to-the-number-of-choices-in-a-dashboard-drop/m-p/359407#M23406 <P>It looks like not all my options in the dropdown are being displayed.

I have had a dropdown of over 1000, and I am not sure of any limit, though depending on how it is populated, i have noticed lag times in the drop down being populated. Also, what version of Splunk are you using?</P> Tue, 20 Jun 2017 17:08:25 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-there-a-limit-to-the-number-of-choices-in-a-dashboard-drop/m-p/359408#M23407 cmerriman 2017-06-20T17:08:25Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-there-a-limit-to-the-number-of-choices-in-a-dashboard-drop/m-p/359409#M23408 <P>The limit for more recent versions of Splunk 6.3 and higher is definitely in the tens of thousands. More than a few thousand will be noticeable in terms of the amount of memory a dashboard eats up.</P> <P>200 should be no issue. </P> <P>There is no override.</P> Tue, 20 Jun 2017 17:12:05 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-there-a-limit-to-the-number-of-choices-in-a-dashboard-drop/m-p/359409#M23408 rjthibod 2017-06-20T17:12:05Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Is-there-a-limit-to-the-number-of-choices-in-a-dashboard-drop/m-p/359410#M23409 <P>Using version 6.5.2 - This is the jist of my query in the dropdown |inputlookup datafile |sort+ app_names|dedup app_names?
