If you have a lot of custom fields in the Fields Manager and creating new custom fields stopped working, the reason is that you reached the database limit for those types of custom fields. To increase the possible number of custom fields, it is necessary to set an optimal number of Maximum Characters for existing fields in the Fields Manager.

Most field types in JReviews use varchar for the column datatype in the database which makes it possible to add indexes and improve performance.

By default, when you create a custom field, JReviews will assign it maximum 255 characters. Most likely some of your custom fields don't need that many characters and reducing this number for those existing fields will open up space for new custom fields.
