Steps to reproduce

Add a lot of front matter in your vault, apparently Dataloom reads it all.

Check if front matter options is too much.

Expected behavior

I expect that dataloom plugin will read all frontmatter.

Are you using the mobile app?

No

Obsidian debug info

There's none.

Relevant log output

No response

I'm having the same issue, which renders the plugin unusable... any ETA solution?

Same issue here.

A workaround with CSS, you need to use a CSS snippet to customize the appearance (Options -> Appearance -> CSS snippets):

.dataloom-menu {
  max-height: 50%;
  overflow: auto;
}

Result is a scrollbar and ability to navigate back and "Clear"

The CSS snippets is a built-in Obsidian feature, following these steps should help: https://help.obsidian.md/Extending+Obsidian/CSS+snippets

Essentially you create a CSS file in the correct folder and add the above CSS code to it. Obsidian should then be able to read and apply these styles automatically.
