I have a database that has 142 fields. I have created a button on a form that runs a workflow that updates the fields. Unfortuantely after adding some fields to be updated, the button doesn’t work but also doesn’t throw an errror. Is there a limit to the number of fields that can be updated when using the Make changes to thing option?
Hey sales11, that is a good amount of fields. 
Did you try to debug what is happening by clicking “Run Next” in the debugger bar in the bottom of the browser window and then pressing the button which triggers the problem.
Make sure to use the Preview function to start your app, right top side of the Bubble Builder:

When I click the button it is almost like it doesn’t peform any action. I have tried to check the “Add a breakpoint in debug mode” to the click event in the work flow and the action but it doesn’t start the debugger.
How I know that it is something to do the with the fields is because if I remove some of the fields the button works. I thought that it was certain fields but I found that wasn’t the case. It seems to be an issue with the number of fields that I am updating.
If you use the Step-by-Step button you don’t need to activate “Add a breakpoint in debug mode” for a step.

Is it an option to gradually add fields until the problem occurs? This way you might be able to pinipoint the exact problem.

It seems to be an issue with dropdown controls. It would be nice though if there would have been some error thrown when it the button was clicked. I am still working on the issue trying to figure out which controls have an issue. Thank you for your help.
I have found that it was truly the dropdown controls and the way that the data was being returned to the fields. I am new at this and am still learning. I have finally got the form buttons working as intended and am very glad to know that I can update this many fields if needed. For this use case I didn’t want to use the auto-binding option. If I would have chose that option I wouldn’t have found this issue. I still feel that there is a bug for there to be no error when I clicked the buttons and the data could not be updated with the property that I set from the dropdown. Thank you gerbertdelangen for your help and responses.
