Show_If conditions break down after too many columns

We have a pretty long form, which allows users to put in something called Careplans (what those are doesn’t really matter, just giving a name to reference what I’m talking about by). They can select the types of careplans to enter by checking them off in an EnumList at the beginning of the form. There are a total of 21 types of careplans. We show or hide the associated columns for those careplans with Show_If conditions based on what’s selected in the EnumList. Simple.

Each Careplan consists of 8 things:

  • Show column for its title
  • Initial entry time
  • 5 questions
  • Edit time (users have to go back later in the day and answer a final question so we record that time as well).

So there’s (including some extra administrative data fields) 184 columns in this form.

So, first a user will go into a form to add a new row to the datasource and there are no problems. They can select any (or all) the careplan types, and they will be shown:

However, when they go back later into an edit view on the same row, the only things that will appear are careplans of the first 11 types: that is, whose Show_If constraints pertain to one of the first 11 entries in the EnumList. It doesn’t matter if all are selected, or only the 21st one is selected, or only the 12th one is selected, or any combination thereof – nothing shows up corresponding to columns after the 11th EnumList entry – or more specifically to the best I can tell, in the Edit view, nothing past column #103 on this form will appear even if set the Show_If is just set to "Yes."

Hopefully this is explained well enough. It’s a pretty detailed problem that we have been battling for some time. Thanks for taking the time to read, and please let me know if I can help clarify anything.
