maxResults not working in REST API

[rich leblanc]

I set maxResults=1000 in myrequest:

requests.get('http://jira.xxxxxxxx.com/rest/api/2/search?jql=%s&startAt=%s&maxResults=1000' % (jql, start_issue), auth=('user', 'password'))

but it always returns 50 issues no matter what I set it to. Any ideas why it's not working? When I do a search in the Jira gui when you start typing a keyword a popup appears with suggestions based on what you typed so far but nothing ever shows up for maxResults. does that mean that keyword is not available in my Jira instance?

The maximum allowable value is dictated by the JIRA property 'jira.search.views.max.limit'. If you specify a value that is higher than this number, your search results will be truncated.

This can be set in the 'jira-config.properties' file.

Where is that file located so I can check it? nvm found it:

My Jira admin told me he set jira.search.views.max.limit = -1 too "get rid of search limit according to documentation". I don't see that anywhere in docs. Is that a legit value to set it to?

Hi rich,

Did setting to -1 worked?

Thanks
