Forms collapsing when adding several branching

Copper Contributor

Hi everyone,

 

So, I'm struggling with Forms right now and I don't know if would be a manner to solve this.

 

I've created a form to register work orders from our technicians, so, apart of the all obvious questions we created a full list of possible components to work with (about 2.700 components) and separated in systems and sub-systems. Here I show you the quantity of components per system and sub-system:

 

System codeComponents
1000549
3000256
4000327
5000529
6000442
7000859

 

Sub-systems codeComponents
100026
105087
110025
115018
120040
125072
130034
135054
140039
145020
150027
155016
160039
180017
190035
300022
325049
30021
730089
305033
310041
31508
303047
32007
330034
340013
40002
405039
425057
410035
420026
445052
415046
430047
43507
480018
50001
545055
505074
570032
510054
515036
520050
530024
535015
540020
550014
555028
560054
580021
590051

610039
630045
605039
615017
620048
640049
650051
660049
670025
680035
690044
795016
700010
760028
725038
715047
705030
710022
720034
740031
745062
7500121
755041
770057
79A056
79C064
79D08
79E011
79L056
79S017
79T020

 

The plan is to prevent technicians from going through the entire list, so we did some branching where you must select: System -> sub-system -> component.

 

The problem is that right now I'm lagging so badly that I can last 2-3 minutes to set one option.

 

I've being trying to figure out why is this happening and I discovered that branching page dumps more than a giga to my RAM, and after trying editing it can be several minutes Saving the changes:

 

RAM on default page (note the "Saving..." message, it's 99% of the time showing it):

RAM on branching page:

Today it's lighter than yesterday, but it collapse anyway:

Here is a snap from yesterday's performance:

My problem is that this work is taking so many hours to be completed, and even collab working makes it worst.

 

Is there anyway I can do this fast? Or lighter?

 

Thanks a lot.

@ChrisCollao my suggestion would be to build an app in Power Apps linked to one or more SharePoint lists. That way you can have cascading dropdowns and build a more robust solution.

Hi @RobElliot

Yes, thanks, I thought something similar few days ago, but linked to a database where you can obtain those lists. Sadly I'm out of knowledge in Power Apps right now (looking to learn about it anyway in a future). I have never used it before.
