I have a dropdownfield whose choiceValue are from an api, the records from api are more than 5000, but pagingInfo only allows 5000 at max for batchSize, how can I do to put all choiceValue in this dropdownfield?

Not!

If you need to support a user selecting items from > 5k elements, please implement a custom picker field that queries the API in the background.

A custom picker can be a challenge. Make sure to perform the actual data fetching inside the suggest function, forwarding the user search text to the API to return only matching items.

IMHO if the choice values count is more i go with picker fields.

And I suggest you to use filters on source rather than getting all the data

For handling such a large dataset, it is recommended to use a custom picker.

Additionally, it is advisable to begin entering a few characters, and only after, for example, three characters have been inputted, should the suggestion function be executed.
