My app contains an RG of Books, on which users can submit a Rating. In my DB, I have a datatype “Books” which contains a list field, Rating ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/e/6/e61f225bb6187af92981812df4ed9db36cbfdbdd.png) I read here on the forums that the maximum of things that Bubble allows in a list is 10,000. Is that true? What happens if more than 10,000 users leave a Rating for a single Book? ---

Hi there, @agilejelly… check out this thread… it should help. > [@List of more than 10,000 items](http://forum.bubble.io/t/list-of-more-than-10-000-items/161477): > > What would happen if there is a list of more than 10,000 items? The most recent video training regarding this says a list can only hold upto 10k entries. does it then: Only keep the most updated of the 10k Does it not allow to save more What is the effective way around this limitation? I ask as Im not a DB person and want to know the best way to work around this limitation. Best… Mike
