Cross-doc not loading list of tables in a large doc

1

Hey guys!

I´m structuring most of my databases in one large document (each DB in one page) to pull data from these pages to end-user documents ou views.

I tried doing a cross-doc of “my tasks” just to try it out, but the cross-doc pack never loads the list of tables for that document… it just keeps loading forever. I left it loading for hours, but it never finishes.

If I try to cross-doc from another doc with fewer tables, it will show the list of table correctly.

Never loads (37 tables in the doc):

Did load (12 tables in the doc):

Is there a maximum number of tables in a doc i should follow to easily be able to cross-doc it (or at lead load the list of tables)?

Any guidance in best practices would be greatly appreciated.

hi @Tony_Harion , there is the notorious limit of 10.000 rows per table. Does this limit explain (partly) the issues you face?

Thanks for the reply @Christiaan_Huizer .

For now, all tables are pretty much empty with exceptions of 3 or 4 dummy data rows per table. I´m still in the point of structuring the tables and data format so I dont think that might be the case yet.

I meat to put that info in my original post but forgot. Thanks for mentioning.

maybe there is a limit to the number of tables you can cross doc, but I am not aware of such a limit. Maybe somebody of the Coda team can help us out.

Cheers, Christiaan

Adding to the issue I reported before for that document with 37 tables (with very few lines in each):

When I try to use the Coda Chrome extension and select that document, the extension cannot locate any tables to save a page:

I got in touch with CODA support via chat and the were super kind to help me with this issue.

Turns out that I had one table imported from GoogleSheet that had a bunch of images and was resulting in a very large document (not as in row limit ou column limit, but file size due to images).

The team ajusted a few parameter in the API limit and soved the issue for now for this doc.

Thanks so much once again, Coda team
