How can I increase the limit of drop box in rails admin gem

Hi I m stuck in a situation and I m unable to find a solution, there is a dropbox that displays the tags matched with the string entered but the limit is set for 30 as it displays 30 results only. I want it to increase it but I m unable to find where the limit is applied. here is the list of result limited to 30

the logs do return the query but I m unable to find it

Solution

  • You need to configure the field like this

    rails_admin do
  edit do
    field :tags do
      associated_collection_scope do
        proc do |scope|
          scope.limit(600)
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

    But more importantly i discovered this searching on the rails_admin code, i tried searching for the string ' 30' on the rails admin gem folder and there were not that many results one had the limit.

    cd $(bundle show rails_admin)
ag ' 30' | grep limit

    This returned

    lib/rails_admin/config/fields/association.rb:43:          associated_collection_scope_limit = (associated_collection_cache_all ? nil : 30)

    So i opened the file and found that the block of code that has that scoping is part of the configuration of all association fields on rails admin so i knew i could just add it to that particular field.
