Select lists: Changing the number of displayed items?

[Nic Steenhout]

Hello,

We have a custom select list (multiple choice). It only displays 5 items at a time - the height of the display box is very limiting from a usability factor (there are 70+ items in the list).

I'm trying to figure out how to make that box higher, or able to show more items at the same time, but am having no luck. I searched the forums here, but if there's an answer already, I managed didn't manage to find it.

Any information would be helpful.

I tried that but it's not working. I guess it only works on self-hosted versions rather than Cloud :(

That does in fact work (on server), but I find that if the create popup screen must be refreshed due to a differently selected project or issue type, the javascript does not run, and the list will revert to showing the default 5 items.

Hello,

You can not change the number of displayed items in a select list.

Only by using Java Script if you are on Server. But it is a not mantainable solution

Thanks for clarifying that Alexey. Very disappointing and not very usable :(
