When a Drupal site is reasonably complex in terms of taxonomies, entity reference fields etc, the interface for managing the fields indexed by SOLR can quickly become unmanageable.

My current setup has 40 content types and around 200 fields. Some of these fields are entity reference which I needed to add the referenced fields for in the SOLR Index.

The page is taking 15 minutes plus to load, and posting back after saving fails every time.

Is there a more manageable way (with code perhaps) that I can select the fields which I need indexed?

Thanks

This is a known problem for large sites, and pretty unfortunate. Probably, the best fix would be to copy something like the D8 UI here (though the underlying architecture is a bit different, so would have to take that into account), but that would take a lot of work which no-one seems to be willing to invest (especially into the D7 version). Generally, the UI could use some improvements, as I’m not very good with UI in general but wrote/designed most of it myself.

Anyways, if you are happy with code, there is an example for this in the docs which should work for you.
