I got error message "parsererror" after change
if ( $key > 30 )
{
break;
}
to
if ( $key > 300 )
{
break;
}
and
for ( $key = 0; $key < 31; $key++ )
to
for ( $key = 0; $key < 300; $key++ )
i don't know how to change it and get work.. maybe some where to change in config
if ( $key > 30 )
{
break;
}
to
if ( $key > 300 )
{
break;
}
and

'Select' type question is not intended for location. We will introduce proper location-type question later. The limit of 31 values can't be worked-around because of the way data is stored.

also Height and weight need " select " over 31 values .. not only location-type needed.. maybe you can proper common type that able to adding unlimited values that will be best answer

Since there is no optimal solution now, this feature is still in planning stage.

It is hard to believe that 2 years later, with a fairly popular social networking platform that a simple state / country search option is still not available. I like everything else, but come on, it's like creating a successful tablet computer and leaving off arrow keys... Oh wait a second.... This is just sort of funny since it is typically the first and most basic profile search people use. Ay word of successful fixes or workaround a yet?

>>Where is the problem with this option?
If the field of list or multi list type, it is saved as "enum" type of field in the database. Values of "enum" type of field, in turn are saved not as values, but as integers. For example:
USA= first power of 2=2
Canada=second power of 2=4
UK=third power of 2= 8
Greece= fourth power of 2=16
.....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_two
PHP has a PHP_INT_SIZE with maximum value of 2 747 483 648. Which is 31st power of 2. ( 2 ^31).
That is why currently you can't enter more then 31 values.
To fix this issue data should be saved in another type of field ( not "enum" within the database). This iscomplex change, since "enum" type of field has quite a lot of benefits which are already used in other features.
Having other important features to develop ( http://www.oxwall.org/roadmap) we just didn't have time to improve the feature with list/multilist type of fields.

I hired someone and they were able to make my site have 300 options. Only bad thing is that I can never update the mainframe. or I lose all code :(

I still can‘t understand why this has been made so complicated. Why not use simply use VARCHARS?
Whatever the benefits are, the resulting application is far too restrictive.
