Problems adding more than 999 choices to a drop down answer set (cities in CA) was created by eyerish
Hey everyone. I am setting up a survey that collects identifier information in the beginning. Part of this survey has dropdown menus for country and state and I am trying to do it for city also. My city dropdown is conditional based on which country and state they choose, so there will be a ton of answer sets. I have had no problem setting up the answer sets as long as the city count is less than 1000, but when I tried to add every city in California, for example, I got an error. I tried every variation I could think of, and nothing worked. Am I limited to 999 answers on the editor interface?
This is my error message:
Bad Request
The CSRF token could not be verified.
The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax. Please do not repeat the request without modifications.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
ALSO: When I am running conditional questions, is there a better way to do it than the following:
I want to be able to survey every country/state/province/city with a drop down menu, based on conditional survey questions. So far, the only way I can figure it out, is to have 50 different city answer sets (1 for each state). If state = CA, then show the California answer set, etc.
Thanks for your help!

You may be able to solve both problems by using jQuery Autocomplete on a short-text question instead of drop-downs -

Maybe you can start a derivative work based upon Denis's (new)

What impacts the number of choices in a drop down answer set? Is it a database configuration, or a security setting?
When I do a big list like this, I get the same error after 255 choices. I have 100 more choices I need to put in there, and unfortunately time is of the essence to get this survey out. My IT team has scheduled an update in 2016 to the latest version of LimeSurvey so we can do a jQuery autocomplete, but that won't be until after I need to get this survey completed.
