Ah of course, I've had this issue in asp.net sites. What threw us was it happened exactly on number 200 seemed like it must have been a limit.

<p>We have a matrix field for weekly winners names in a company promotion. We've entered 199 so far, the 200th is not saving, it blanks out the fields and logs a validation error - cannot save because name is blank.</p>

<p>If we delete item 199 then we can add a new item, it then fails on item 200 again</p>

<p>Is this a known limit in craft matrix fields??</p>

We have a matrix field for weekly winners names in a company promotion. We've entered 199 so far, the 200th is not saving, it blanks out the fields and logs a validation error - cannot save because name is blank.

If we delete item 199 then we can add a new item, it then fails on item 200 again

Is this a known limit in craft matrix fields??
