Error is clean : you must increase the max_input_vars in your php.ini

Thank you for your reply.
However it is not clear to us how we can increase the max_input_vars in the php.ini.
Could ypu please guide us through this process?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind Regards,

max_input_vars is a parameter in the php.ini file. You must edit this file to change value of parameter.

So file location depends on OS and http server used.

Look on Internet to find localization of file.

The new value of parameter will be take into account after http server restart.

Thank you for your reply.
We follow these steps :
1. Founfd the file
2. Increase the max_input_vars to 5000.
3. Restart.
However the following error continues to appear:

'Unknown: Input variables exceeded 1000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0
Contact your administrator.'

Any suggestions what might be wrong?

Check in Global parameters screen.

This screen contains parameters set from installation.

Maybe, the old value is use.

Several parameters are set during installation.

You can't increase the limit in the ProjeQtOr screen (You can't exceed limit set in php.ini file), but you can reduce it.

I believe the old value is set (you reduce the limit).

Check value of parameter and set it with your new value.

Possibility to have two php.ini file.

One for PHP command line and another for http server.

It is also possible to overwrite parameter value in an other ".ini" file located in a subdirectory.

It is also possible that your php has suhosin installed.
Then you would also need
suhosin.post.max_vars=5000
suhosin.request.max_vars=5000

NB : take case if your are using wamp, it's always a mess to have changes taken into account (wamp uses copies of files, and I never remember which one is really used)

Thank you all for your feedback. We double checked and there is no suhosin installed in our case.
However we noticed thta some users are able to properly update the real allocation.
Any suggestions why some users are not able to allocate real work time and some others can?
They all have authoriation to perform this task.
Thank you in advance.

It all depends on number on lines displayed on the real work allocation screen.
Some with less lines can save.
Some with more cannot.
It is (for sure) a max_input_vars issue.
