Drop-down list for the field

Сергій Стеценко July 18, 2023

In Jira Workmanagement there is an option to set a drop-down list for the field.
As I can see - there is a limit of 55 drop-down lists only.

However, I need more than that (preferably without a limit at all or at least an opportunity to add 200+ drop-down lists).

We already have a Premium account in JIRA, but I failed to find how can I add more than 55 drop-down lists and avoid the limit. Could you, please, assist with that?Please, find the photo notification from the system attached

Hello @Сергій Стеценко 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

It is not possible to increase that limit. There is a change request about this where you can add your vote:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-77917

Having so many items in the list will make it difficult to use and slow to load.

Could you instead create a Dependent Dropdown field and put your options into groups?

Hi.  @Trudy Claspill 

Thanks for the quick response.
While I am new to jira and did not understand a little how to implement this? Is there a screenshot of what it looks like so I can understand?

Hello @Сергій Стеценко 

You appear to be using a Team Managed project. You can confirm that by looking at the bottom of the panel on the left. There the text will include either "team-managed" or "company-managed".

For a Team Managed project you would add a Dependent Dropdown custom field.

Then add Parent and Child options.

The Parent is a higher level grouping. The user will select from the Parent options first, and then be able to select from the Child options under that Parent.
