Cause
Some display fields that are populated with a large amount of values are known to cause performance impacts, and even Timeout errors when attempting to edit, save, or navigate a record. For example, if there is a Record Permission field that is set to populate a Dropdown with a significant amount of users, this can cause slowness due to the number of users being loaded during the Edit process.
ResolutionBelow are some fields that are known to cause these issues, and their recommended changes:
  1. Record Permission Field
    • Change Display Control to Values Popup
  2. User/Group List Field
    • Change Display Control to Values Popup
  3. History Log Field
    • Change Display Control to Link
