Limit of Child Issues

[Karim Mohamed]

What's the limit of Child issues under an Epic in Jira Cloud?

I can't find a consistent number online

Hi, @Karim Mohamed  👋

Only 100 child issues can be displayed under Epic in Issue View.

AFAIK, the total limit is 2K child issues (at this time—Atlassian changes these things {for the better} from time to time).

A workaround to see more than 100 children is to use Jira search and search for issues by parent=Epic, and all child issues will be returned.

Example of JQL:

issuetype=epic AND parent=<issuekey>
