Maximum Number of Custom Fields on a 'Create Issue' Form?

[Erica Fernandez]

Currently creating multiple 'Custom Fields' (questions) within JIRA for the Development Team(s) to fill out (answer) when working on a request.

Is there a maximum number of 'Custom Fields' that can be displayed on a ('Create Issue') form?  Or there is no limit?

None that I've ever run into, but I would expect Jira to perform badly over a few hundred. But before that your users will hate creating issues because they cannot find the fields they expect. 

If you don't need to report on a field, it likely doesn't belong on the Jira create screen

Thank you!
