Limit of users in userlist custom field

[Ambica Seshasayee]

Hi,

What is the limit on the number of users that can be added into a "UserList" custom field?

Thanks,

Hi Petterson,

Hope my question is clear. Do let me know else, i will try rephrasing.

Thanks,

Thanks Petterson.

Say, I send a json to the customfield (Multi-select User Picker field) as:

{"fields" :
{"customfield_XXXXX": [
{
"name": "name1"
},
{
"name": "name2"
},
.
.
.
..
{
"name" : "nameX"
}
]
}
}

Assuming all names are valid Jira users, the above JSON works updating the custom fields with the user names. 

My doubt is: what is the max limit of this user name array that can be packed in this JSON?

Thanks,

Ambica

Hello Ambica,

Thank you for your detailed explanation.

As mentioned before, User Picker fields can only be filled with a single user at a time where you can select any user from your JIRA instance.

In fact, the User Picker custom field works just like the Assignee or the Reporter fields.

Let me know if this information helps.

It's been 4 years...please we need to know the limit for a multi user people picker.

We want a story to house all people going to an event, and we can get that from the people on each request in JSM and keep adding to the same story in a jira project. But before we spend time working a script to automate it's count and if successful we'd rather have an answer here.

Hi Petterson,

Thank you for your response.

Thats right a "User picker", (multi user) custom field. 

I am updating a custom field from a REST call and was wondering if there is a limit to the number of users that can be added to such a field.

I will be only sending valid Jira users in the JSON for that field.

Thanks,

Ambica
