How to limit TempMax in Jira

[John Ryan]

Hi,

The default number of issues returned in Jira is set at 1000. You can override this by setting tempMax=X where x is any value. Is there a way to limit what x can be set to? We suspect that some of our users are doing this and causing our Jira to crash.

Yep, it's well buried in the properties file, but you can specify a hard limit, and a group who can be exempted

Specifically, set<tt><tt> jira.search.views.max.limit to a low-ish number (1000 is a good starting point!)
</tt></tt>

Thanks Nic.
