Can't add more variables to the "Show in catalog task" slushbucket

Greetings~

We have a workflow that is shared by approximately 50 catalog items.   It has worked wonderfully until now but I think I have hit on a snag.   Since so many items share this workflow, there are a ton of variables available to show on the task form.   Obviously, on the individual tasks it only grabs the ones that are from the specific item, but I have recently found that I cannot add any more variables to the right side of the bucket. It will let me highlight them, move them to the right and save.   However, when I go back into the Activity Properties: Catalog Task form, the same variables are still listed in the left pane and the additions do not show on tasks.   Anyone have an idea for getting around this?   I can't be the first one to have a largely shared workflow...

If you remove some, will it let you add them?



Did you check your application scope to make sure you're on the right one (this one catches me all the time).

Yes if I remove 1 I can add a different 1 so it looks like I am banging up against a limit to the number of values the slushbucket can hold



Luckily we just started with scoped items so I have not run into that yet, but I'm SURE it will catch me multiple times in the future.


Check your sys_properties; I betchya there's a property you can update somewhere that sets the limit, look for a value of 50.


You are wonderful!   Thanks for jump starting my brain. The system property doesn't exist but it's in the Available System Properties list.
