Slow save

Hi,

I have a form with roughly 150 fields and I'm experiencing save times over 15 minutes. I understand it is quite a large form, but I can't understand why it would take quite so long to upload such a small amount of information.

Is there any advice on speeding up this process, or is there any consideration for improving the speed of this section of the code?

Thanks.

Hello, Chris!
Problems with speed are caused by SharePoint design, and in general, it's not recommended to have more than 70 active Fields on the form at once. It's best to separate one large form into several smaller forms using Forms Sets, with 50 fields each, for example.

For instance, you can create Item with basic information filled, then go to different Form Set of the Edit Form. Switching between forms can be done either step by step or with buttons/links.
