Multifield item dropdown

I have a CLASSIC UI dialog multifield. For each multifield item, I have a dropdown that is populated from an expensive API call to an external system.

As the multifield could have 40+ items, I want to avoid making 40+ API calls to populate each item dropdown.

What is a good approach to solve this?

You can cache the necessary things in JCR..Load dropdowns from JCR, if not there -> call API.. Once API returns, store the info in nodes again...

Is there any way to re-organize the fields in your MF dialog. Sounds like you have too many fields in your dialog.
