Connections Beta: Expanded "Source Projects" limit when feature is GA?

[Mike Theis]

Hi again JPD, My product team and I LOVE the connections Beta so far. As we have been scaling the tool, I ran into one of the feature limits - the cap on "Source Projects" for a connection field. I have linked a total of 20 projects (which is the limit) and currently have 22 to 24 boards that I would like to allow through that same field. 

When the feature moves from Beta -> GA, will this limit still be in place? It would be awesome if the ceiling would be a little higher for my use case, if possible.

Additional context: Working with a team of 100+ Product and engineering planners, we are hoping to let each working team own their own backlogs in JPD while centralizing & standardizing the ways they work together. Connection fields seem to be a great way to share and receive dependencies for the teams, and allows them to collaborate on overlapping ideas easily. 

Thanks for reading and for any insight into this specific challenge / limit.

Hi Mike! 

Thank you for the kind words, I've shared it with the team in charge of developping this feature! 

Exactly as you mentionned, since the feature is still in Beta, we've put this safeguard in place to avoid any performance issue while we are still working on it. However, we have it in our plans to increase the limit around the time we go GA. 

Cheers,
