Is there a maximum number of subcontrols that a channel changer Supercontrol can accept?

There’s actually an addendum to this, for which we already have a fix in Beta: right now there are only about 5K checks allowed when adding a subcontrol, meaning that the check for “is this child a parent of this supercontrol” will FAIL erroneously if you have a lot of relationships. Perhaps that’s the issue you’re asking about?
The issue that prompted my question was actually something else...   got a little weird dragging subcontrol selection to the same iPhone tab.    I just moved the design callout box to the other tab and it worked fine!    This particular supercontrol had less than 200 subs, and works fine.   (It’s the channel changer for my Big Sky layout).

Thanks for the question. There's no technical limit that we're aware of currently, and we've never found one in the wild. If you do encounter any problems, we're excited to help.
