How to remove the "40 tasks" limit in the task report macro?

[Deleted user]

I have around 1000 tasks wich are displayed in the task report macro - 10/20/40 items per macro page (see https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/task-report-macro-590260009.html). My problem is that I would like to use a filter on all the tasks rather than just the ones displayed on the current macro page. Also I would like to collect the tasks with jquery for my visualization, but the dom object contains only the 40 tasks that are currenty displayed in the macro page.

I'm afraid you can't change the limit without making code changes to the macro.  The reason it is limited is to prevent overloading - if you did code something to return more than 40 at a time, you will start to find the system becoming significantly, and exponentially slower to render them.
