This article explains how to request an increase to the maximum number of values allowed in a Salesforce Multi-Select Picklist field. Multi-Select Picklist fields allow users to select multiple values from a predefined list within a single field. The default limit should now be set to 500 for new and existing organizations — however, some organizations may find their current limit is set below this value and will need Salesforce Support to increase it. For example, a product team using a Multi-Select Picklist to track supported features, regions, or categories may need the full 500 values to accurately represent their data.
Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer
Default Limit: 500 Multi-Select Picklist values — new and existing organizations should default to 500
Maximum Limit: 500 Multi-Select Picklist values
NOTE: While the total limit of all values is 500, the maximum number of selectable values at one time is limited to 100 and cannot be increased.
Submit a limit increase request with Salesforce Support
Review Salesforce documentation on Multi-Select Choice Fields Overview before reaching out to Support.
To increase your Multi-Select Picklist values limit up to the maximum of 500, you'll need assistance from Salesforce Support.
If you've reviewed all relevant documentation and still need assistance with increasing this limit, please have a System Administrator create a limit increase request with Support.
