Description

@JSimmons reports issues importing larger activity data sets " Our activity information is basic (no text in details field, no attachments) and our average list size is 55K+."

(initially reported in Feb here)

Event Timeline

Here is an example of a standard group that needs a bulk activity added after an event - Civigroup 2024 Q2 Virtual Event Invitation [$150+, 5 years] ]]; total contacts: 56,937

Here are the steps that I would take to try and add an MGFE event activity:

  1. Select up to 5,000 contacts (If all are selected, Civi will crash)
  2. Click on add activity
  3. Add activity type (Event - Special)
  4. Check create separate activities for each contact
  5. Add subject (2024 Q2 Virtual Event)
  6. Add location (Virtual)
  7. Add date (November 20 2024)
  8. Add activity status (Invited)
  9. Save and run

When groups are broken down to the 5,000 records per page limit, the queue sucessfully runs in the background. If I try and add and activity to more than 5K records at once, Civi almost always crashes (I do not know the exact error at this time, but I believe it is a timeout error).

I hope this information is a little helpful. Please tag me with follow up questions. TY!

@Eileenmcnaughton sounds like we're waiting on the update to enable the imports Jayme is looking to do?

Yep - if @Jsimmonds can try again in August (probably from about the middle of the month)

Update still isn't out - will be next week now as I need something from Jeff
