Zuuuup, people ?

So, I've been developing a process model (not from begin, some other guy started development before me) and, sunddely, everytime I click on the drop with variables, all tabs in chrome with an Appian url rise an error about "out of memory".

I'm trying to click on this drop: 

Is it something knowed? I mean, may I or someone else missunderstanding some config ?

Thanks anyway for your time spent reading my question !

I think I figured out the problem: This process is to big (not created by me, I just added a few more nodes). After create a subprocess and call it in main, everything works fine again.

Looks like some problem about to index variables in a process model that is too big. I notified people in my team a long time ago to avoid this pratice, but there's some old processes remain.

Thanks everyone for try to help me !

Does it also happen when you try using any other browser?

I have never seen that. Could be a browser issue or a bug. I suggest to open a support case with Appian.

Thx, but I guess that's not my case. It's a good hint though.

Could you try to delete the node and add it back with respective details?

I've tried it, but still all the same. I've created a fresh new process, but still got the same problem, as u can see in below image: 

I'm really struggle with this error, that comes in a worst time in my project.

Have u ever see it before ? Or something like that ?

    About 125 nodes (even before I notice this one exists). Terrible.

     
    I used this case as an example to my team and I instructed them to avoid this bad practice. I stipulated a 15 nodes as threshold for all process in Appian.
