Hey, I feel like I'm running into a limit with the number of elements I can have in a slice. We have a slice to power a Dealer locator on our Prismic powered website. When I go to add another new element and save the page I get a spinning wheel for about 30 seconds and then an error message. If I edit an existing element the page saves in a matter of seconds. There is a lot of element as we have a lot of dealers worldwide. 550+ dealers. Is there a limit to the number of elements? Any way to see what error is occurring? Any help would be awesome.
Hey Chris, welcome to the Prismic forum!
There isn’t a limit in the amount of fields that you can add inside a Slice. I imagine the error that you’re getting has another reason. If you could provide us with more information we can investigate further.
- Which browser are you using?
- If you have screenshots of the error in the writing room and/or the console of the browser, post them here as well
- The URL of the repo, (you can add this in a private message)
Thanks for the response Paulina!
- I’m currently using Chrome as the browser. I have also tried in Safari and gotten the same results.
- Below is a screenshot of the Console form Chrome
- Ill send you the URL in private message
Hey Chris, thank you for all the details. I went and made some tests with your Custom type and I was able to replicate the issue. I’m going to inform the team so they can take a look, I’ll come back to you as soon as I have some info about this.
It is worth noting that the Group field that you’re using for your Dealer Locator Custom type is not a Slice but rather a top-level field, a Group field in your case. Slices also have similar behavior, they have the ‘Repeatable Zone’ that works as a group!

Hello Chris, After talking to the dev team we've concluded that hard limits are not defined for how many items can exist inside a group field. But it is true that the performance of the page will start to be slow or even break if 500+ are added to it.
So the best option for your case would be to separate this file into smaller documents so that it becomes more manageable.
