How can I change the maximum number of gadgets per dashboard?

[Robert Matthews]

Currently we are using Jira 4.2.3 (standalone) which appears to have a default of 20 gadgets max on a dashboard. We would like to change this number to more than 20.

You can increase this by specifying jira.dashboard.max.gadgets=NUMBER_OF_GADGETS in your jira-application.properties:

Note the decision on why we set a limit for this:

This should work for us. And thanks for the caution about overloading with gadgets.
