Limit option for "Select Entries" variable type
This is an idea / bug :)
I'm using "Select Entries" variable type.
The "problem" bit is it becomes painfully (to a point it could be considered a bug) slow to manage the selection when the selected channel has several thousand entries.
The "idea" bit is that some sort of a configurable limit would solve this (e.g. show X number of entries, sorted by date, descending).

Yeah, some kind of limit has been requested before in some form or another. It's definitely under consideration. :)

I've created a new field type based on the "Select Entries" that has options to:
- limit the number of entries shown in the select dropdown
- set the ordering (by title or age)
- send the sorting (ascending or descending)
You can get it from here:

PS It works fine, but the coding is a bit crude - hopefully vendor will include the code modifications into own release & tidy it up a bit :)

Nice one, Milan. I'll keep this in mind!
