I'm trying to mimic what you are saying, but not getting it.

What is paginated, the dropdown ??  I just added many roles in a test module, and if y start typing in the dropdown, i can find any of them, i don't see what pagination would be at play ?

bear in mind, if you double click the dropdown to get complete list, this list is not rebuilt in the client just because you added roles, so if there are new roles, they will only appear on doubleclick after refreshing the screen, not just double clicking the roles dropdown.

Hi Dorine

The pagination is on the list of roles of that user - it maxes at 50 per page. Once you go over that, then it paginates. Now to check if a User has a role - you can type that role into the dropdown and it shows as an option then you know they don't have it. But when it has pagination, it shows it as an option even though they already have it - because it is on the second page which has not been loaded yet...

I hope this helps.

An alternative idea is to add a search function to be able to search all existing roles - as this is maybe a strange use of the dropdown which is intended to add new roles...

Ahh ok, i had gone up to 38 but not 51, I should have persevered...

This doesn't even sound like an idea, but a bug on that dropdown query.

And yes, there could be muck better UI, showing for example all roles, and a checkbox next to those he already has.

Liked your idea for support.

Thanks Dorine, appreciate it.

Thanks @Stoyan Garbatov!
