SharePoint Online people picker limits

Hi there,

I can see that in SharePoint 2013 the limit to the number of entries in a people picker field field was 200 but I cannot find anything for SharePoint Online. Is this officially documented anywhere? Has the limit increased at all in the past 8 years?

Cheers,
Mel

Per my research, there is no evidence or Microsoft documentation indicates that there is a limit for people picker field in the SharePoint Online.

I'm afraid that you need to test it on your own to determine the maximum number if there is a limit.

In my opinion, if you want to add a large number of users, it could be a better idea to add these users to a group and add this group in people picker field. A user can belong to 5,000 groups per site and each group can have up to 5,000 users. You can have up to 10,000 groups per site.

Thanks Emily for looking into this.

My use case is to filter views on "people picker field" = [Me] where I am likely to have 250 to 300 maximum potential people in the field. If I use a group then the filter will not work. I'll see if I hit any ceiling in my field.
