Code :

const listedRoles = [];
        interaction.guild.roles.cache.forEach(role => { 
            
                listedRoles.push({
                    label: role.name,
                    description: "Use this role.",
                    emoji: "➕",
                    value: role.id
                
            })
        }); 
        
        const row = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(
            new SelectMenuBuilder()
            .setCustomId("RoleMenu")
            .setPlaceholder("Select a role.") //line 29.
            .addOptions(listedRoles)    
        )

Using discord.js v14.2.0 and node.js v19.7.0

Any idea ? Thanks.

This happens because you can only have a maximum of 25 options in a single select menu.

Since you're only displaying roles in a given server, I recommend:

• Updating to the latest discord.js version (as all previous ones have been deprecated).
• Use the RoleSelectMenuBuilder. This one displays all roles from a server dynamically, without having to specify options. Keep in mind that said builder is not available in discord.js@14.2.0.

That way, you could just do the following, and it would work without an issue:

const row = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(
    new RoleSelectMenuBuilder()
        .setCustomId("RoleMenu")
        .setPlaceholder("Select a role.")
);

You can also read more about select menus here and here. Hope this helped :)
