This is a well-known limitation. You have to group categorical attributes together to work around.

Subject: [R] Question about random Forest function in R
Hello,
I am trying to run the random Forest function on a data.frame using the following code..
myrf <- randomForest (y=sample_data_metal, x=Train, importance=TRUE, proximity=TRUE)
However, an error occurs saying, "can not handle categorical predictors with more than 32 categories".
My "x=Train" data.frame is quite large and my "y=sample_data_metal" is one column.
I'm not sure how to go about fixing this error or if there is even a way to get around this error. Thanks in advance for any help.
