Hi @rsp

I’ve not encountered one so far.
There is the country list with 234 values - which is odd to use, but technically fine.

After all, the values are “just” an array in PHP files:

  • Core: public/legacy/include/language/en_us.lang.php
  • Custom: public/legacy/custom/include/language/en_us.lang.php
    (respectively your translated file).

Browser wise I’ve noticed before, that multiple dropdowns with thousands of values can slow down rendering the page.

And UI wise, depending on your users, they might be unhappy about a high amount of values.

But other than that, I can’t imagine that there is a strict limit.
