1 year ago Confirmed! I've tested the issue with 50 referencable content items on a Backdrop demo site, and the field displayed only 25 of them as checkboxes.
It seems, in Drupal the issue is causing a lot of frustration. I hope it can be fixed for the Backdrop version of the module, e.g. by introducing a setting about the maximum number of available items. That said, there are already two different workarounds:
- Choose the "Autocomplete text field" as widget for the References field.
- Create a view with a "References" display, filter as you need, set a higher number of "Items to display", and choose this view in the "Global settings" of the field, section "Views - Nodes that can be referenced".
Btw, Entity Reference in Backdrop core doesn't seem to have the issue.

I just found that the Drupal 2.3 version has a huge problem that is affecting us too, at least my site had the problem, where only 25 users of the 3500 were returned for the user_reference I was enabling... https://www.drupal.org/project/references/issues/3279888 patch: https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2022-05-18/3279888-3.patch
