Hi @anu 

This is not possible in cloud. Even in data center where it is allowed it actually has major performance impacts so increasing it is not recommended

You can't really do it on server either - you need to talk to your DBAs about what your backing database will support before you try to amend Jira settings.

This is a question that piques the interests of people with a questioning nature.  Why are you trying to write essays in issues?
