I add 13 choices for first picklist without problems.
Autore (custom field):
nome1 (first choice)

When I add others 14 choices for second custom field the choices are
truncated after some value and the field don't accept others values.
Finalita (custom field):

When i save the list is incomplete.
Also after is no possible to add others new custom fields.

the limit isn't a particular number of choices, but the total length of the text for all the choices, which must fit into the database column. currently the whole list is stored together.. this would need to be refactored to store each entry in a separate row to allow a longer list. you can file a feature request on sourceforge for this.
there is no limit on the number of custom fields that i know of.

thanks for your answer.
The limit of custom fields is linked with the length of the text of choices.
When the database column is full I think it's impossible to define new custom field with new choices.
How much is the length limit for all choices of all custom fields?
255 char?
My problem is that the number of custom field is 5 and for all I have a list of choices.
I use this configuration for my Gallery v 1.4.x version with a custom php script that fill a list menu with choices for the custom fields.
I think this implementation you suggest is very good and too important.
thanks for your suggestion.
