Issue

  • We can't put more than 150 categories in a vocabulary. Can we increase the limit somehow? Why is there a limitation anyway?

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4 U79+

Resolution

  • The limitation of 150 categories in a vocabulary has been made by LPS-118305 to avoid performance issues. Until U79 there was no way to bypass that limitation, the only thing you can do is put the remaining categories in a new vocabulary.
  • From U79, you can increase the limit in Instance Settings -> Assets -> Categorization -> Maximum Number of Categories per Vocabulary
