No need to shout at us.

You will have more success if you explain why you need a value list with more than 30000 characters.

Generally that number of values ill be impossible to work with as pop-up menus, radio buttons etc. Other interface techniques are better such as filtered portals.

Where is such limit stated?

I guess 30,000 is the character lenght limit of value list name and not the value limit.

And where is this limit stated?

Ok, I found this "limit" by trying to paste 30,000 characters into the "Use custom values" box. I don't see this documented anywhere.

Anyway, even with an average of 50 characters per value, that would be enough for 600 values. Such list in 12-pt font would be over 3 meters (9'10") tall. And if you really think it could be useful, you can switch to a field-based value list.
