Select (multiple) Field with a Long List

I created a list of Professions with 129 options.

I need to use it in two forms: profile creation (single selection) and forum creation (multiple selection).

It works fine in the profile creation form.

The problem I'm having is in the forum form, where I need it to be multiple selection. Only 31 of the 129 options appear in the listbox.

For now, I'm avoiding using "Labels" for the professions because I need "Labels" for another purpose.

Is there any way to solve this, or is my list simply too long for a "multiple select" field?

Thank you very much.

Hello @Claudio Acosta !
Yes, it is too long variant. The details can be found here https://unacms.com/d/why-is-a-list-limited-to-a-max-of-31-items If you OS allows then you may increase this limit till 63 items, but that's all.

Thanks @LeonidS
I read the post you mentioned.
I understand, then, that modifying this isn't a priority, since it dates back to 2019.
Regards.

It relates more to the limits of the MySQL engine especially when it needs to have the possibility to filter user-data in search processes.
