Action edit limit appears to be 25,001 objects, not the documented 10,000
Written with the help of AI-FDE.
The docs under Action types → Scale and property limits (link) state:
Objects edited per action submission: 10,000
I tested this directly with a single, simple action and observed a real
ceiling of 25,001 objects by passing an object set to a function-backed action type.
The action input
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
games |
ObjectSet<Games> | The set of games whose scores should be incremented by 1 |
The function
TypeScript v2, backing the action as an ontology-edit function:
import { Client, ObjectSet } from "@osdk/client";
import { Games } from "@games/sdk";
import { createEditBatch, Edits, Long } from "@osdk/functions";
type OntologyEdit = Edits.Object<Games>;
export default async function incrementAllGames(
client: Client,
games: ObjectSet<Games>
): Promise<OntologyEdit[]> {
const editsBatch = createEditBatch<OntologyEdit>(client);
for await (const game of games.asyncIter({ $select: ["primaryKey_", "score"] })) {
const newScore: Long = (BigInt(game.score ?? "0") + 1n).toString();
editsBatch.update(
{ $apiName: "Games", $primaryKey: game.primaryKey_ },
{ score: newScore }
);
}
return editsBatch.getEdits();
}
25K objects successfully edited (10 seconds):
25,002 objects failed and showed the limit:
Future work
I have a working demo of a workshop button that completes 1M object edits in seven minutes by calling the 25K-object action 40 times from a Compute Module. I’m still tinkering with it, but please reply or message me if this is something that would help you.
Assistance requested
Lastly, may I please request access to the OAuth Client Credentials grant in Developer Console for connecting my Compute Module to Foundry to call the action programmatically? Without that, there’s a pretty annoying pain point where I need to manually generate and store OAuth codes and client secrets every time I work on this, and then again every hour.
