    Cant save after 27 Form Items in Trial..

    My client has started building a form on a trial version... he managed to add 27 items to the form, but now is stuck.

    I've verified that its just not saving beyond the 27 items. If i remove one, i can add and save one, but adding a 28th item just won't take.

    Is there some sort of limit on the number of fields of the trial version?  The only error we get is a balloon that says "Failed to Save Form" with a red cross in it.  No event log error. Nothing else i can tell. If i refresh the form, the new field is no longer ther, so the form is not actually saving.

    We're using the trial version as its on a staging domain at the moment... as soon as the site is live we'll purchase a license. I just wanted my client to be able to start building this form before we launch, which was good until we hit this snag.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks heaps... great product btw - would be even better when its working properly :)

    Greg, 

    Is the form multistep or one page only? If not multi step see if making multistep helps.

    Regards

    Nope, no difference....  It's currently one step only... added another step, same issue.

    Furthermore, deleting a record from step 1, and then adding a new step and a new record still doesn't save the form.

    Deleted 2 records, added new step and item... still no go.  

    There's something seriously wrong here... i have no idea how to troubleshoot it.  Will i get better support if i buy a license?

    Hi Greg,

    There shouldn't be a limit on the number of fields.

    Would it be possible to get some details on the form? I can then try to reproduce the error.

    Thanks,
    Tim

    Actually I've just noticed some logs in the event log... 

    umbracoForms:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at UmbracoContour.Webservices.Designer.SaveWithoutSettings(String guid, String design) in d:\TeamCity\buildAgent\work\f25907cf379d8816\Umbraco.Forms.UI\Webservices\Designer.asmx.cs:line 146

    Its strange cos they weren't there yesterday when i was trying and failing.  anyway, that should help...

    Looks like the error occuring is:

    Error during serialization or deserialization using the JSON JavaScriptSerializer. The length of the string exceeds the value set on the maxJsonLength property

    Can be fixed by updating the web.config

    <system.web.extensions> 
    <scripting> 
    <webServices> 
    <jsonSerialization maxJsonLength="2147483644"></jsonSerialization> 
    </webServices> 
    </scripting> 
    </system.web.extensions>

    Thanks again - great work! :)

    I had this same issue on a long form.  After 32 fields and on the 4th step I started getting the "Cannot save form" error.  I did not have an entry in my web.config for the jsonSerialization maxJsonLenghth setting.  I added this to my web.config and now the form is saving properly.
