Search restrictions in JQL

[青山 明]

In Jira Work Management automation rules I'm using an issue search for an action. The description of the issue search action states "Search for up to 100 issues using JQL and include the results list in other actions by using the {{lookup Issues}} smart value." Does this mean that you can only search for up to 100 issues? Or does it return up to 100 search results?

Hi @青山 明 , isn't the result the same? Search for 100 issues max will display 100 search results max.

Search for unlimited issues will also display 100 search results max.

Regardless, I think the answer is Yes.

After all, does that action mean you can search for over 100 issues?

Does that mean there is no limit to the number of searches?

[John Funk]

You can search in general for more than 100 issues. Or you can use a JQL in your rule that returns more than 100 issues. But the #lookupIssues functionality will only process 100 issues.

Do you mean to list up to 100 issues for the issues searched by JQL?

[John Funk]

Yes, that's the most that could be listed.

Hi, I have a question. Why the limit is 100? Is there a way to get a list of issues than are more that 100 in automation?
