Hi @rbostan! Sorry, I cannot understand that steps to reproduce.
If you update attributes on backend, please, clarify the sequence of forms you fill and controls used.
If you send REST requests, please clarify the address and payload(data) utilized. Please look at #5963, it seems similar to yours issue.

I'm adding via backend. For example, create a 'dimension' attribute and add some options (about 800 :)

After a time, if you try adding new options or changing storefront options (ex. Use in layered nav) it says 'saved' but actually not. Also it reset storefront properties to default values.

Managed to reproduce with 248 options :)
Created internal issue MAGETWO-58966. Thank you for reporting!

We experienced same error in v2.1.5. and had fixed this problem after updating a value in PHP configuration as below.

; How many GET/POST/COOKIE input variables may be accepted
max_input_vars = 10000

I was having the same issue in v2.2.4, and the fix by @rogan-son fixed it for me.

This is more of a server configuration issue, but maybe Magento could present a warning to the admin. This is especially critical for those of us who are importing attribute option values from external data sources. If many values are configured, any administrator that goes in to update an attribute, could break the other options.

I had to use @rogan-son solution with a bigger number

PHP Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 10000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0
