Hi @sunil 

For issues you can change the value of the maxresults in your API's call.

Here the information that you can get in the doc

The "maxResults" parameter indicates how many results to return per page. Each API may have a different limit for number of items returned.

Here an example of a code, using Jira Python module (i just use a loop and play with the startAt parameter)

size = 100initial = 0

while True:

start= initial*size 
issues = j.search_issues('project = "your project"', start,size) 
if len(issues) == 0: 
break 
initial += 1 
for issue in issues: issue.delete()

By default the maxresult you can get is 1000 ins jira software, so you can override this limitation in your code, if you want so you will need to change the value in your instance.

Hope this helps
