Number field with large numbers

Bhargavi January 29, 2021

Is it possible to create a number field(scripted is also fine) which allows more than 12 digits in Jira

For cloud, the number field behaves as follows:

1. The number field has a maximum value of 100000000000000. (1 + 14 zeros).  This is a value maximum, not a digits maximum.  Increment this value by one and you get a max error.

2. The number field displays 3 decimal places. In the example above you could have 10000000000000.234 (1 + 13 zeros + 3 decimal places)

The easiest way to extend these limits would be via an add-in.  For example, Custom Fields for Jira Cloud appears to have this functionality according to its documentation.

seems there is a bug

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-60801

That means, it supports a maximum of 18 digits only, 12 before and 6 after the decimal point
