Hi,

How many nested attributes are supported for an entity along with its contexts(inmycase - 8 here). Similarly, number of columns and rows supported in each nested attribute.

  As per this document, we can have upto 100 rows and 10 child attributes. Number of nested attributes in an entity is subject to size of the data to store in nested records, number of locales, etc..I think 8 nested attributes shoudn't cause any major issue. Make sure to ensure that updating an entity with data in 8 nested attributes doesn't get into large object processing.

  Hello Jammanapally

  Our experience has shown that an entity can have quite a few nested attributes mapped to it (even with contexts), we have one client with over 50 nested attributes, some small (2 or 3 rows and only 2 or 3 rows) and some large (some with approximately 20 columns and 10 or so rows and others with fewer columns, but with almost 100 rows).

  However, just keep in mind that as a best practice an attribute group shouldn't have all too many nested attributes within it (I believe the recommendation is a limit of 10). This is to ensure that the page loading times are good - nested attributes require more processing, therefore try to avoiding having all too many within a single attribute group (or My View for that matter).
