Style item variant attribute dropdown limited to 500 value sets

Content

Our organization uses style items to create SKUs. For two of our 4 variant attributes, we define value set subsets at the style level which then restricts values at the SKU level. However on 2 of our variant attributes, we have exceeded 500 subsets. The screen limits to only 500 values. We are looking for potential workarounds. It is not clear that the 500 that show follow any pattern - alphanumeric, most recent. If it did then we could "game" the system to always show the one we want before creating the style. Anyone have this issue? Thoughts on work
