Introducing limits to how many items you can add to an issue
Asked by Ben Robbins:

We've received our monthly update of changes coming to Jira Cloud and there's a very small update with little detail which could potentially have a large impact. It's impossible to know the impact as they give no detail or link to further information!!! Here it is:

#### *Introducing limits to how many items you can add to an issue* {#toc-hId-345849847}

*To enhance the reliability and efficiency of our platform, we're introducing new limits to how many comments, attachments, and links you can add to an issue.*

Anyone know what these limits are? What happens when you hit one of these limits? These are important questions which my stakeholders will want to know.

I have summarized all of the changes in my latest article here: <https://actonic.de/en/understanding-atlassian-jira-cloud-issue-limits-and-how-to-manage-them/>

It also includes a way to quickly identify and surface issues that are affected by these limits right on your dashboard:

![Issue-Limits-Report_Dashboard.jpg](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/336027iC511EC6CE773F633/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Issue-Limits-Report_Dashboard.jpg")

It's a custom report built in [Report Builder](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/1216997?utm_campaign=article_issue-limits_social&utm_medium=social&utm_content=textlink), which means its source code can be modified to any requirement you or a client might have (more details in the article):

![Issue-Limits-Report_Code.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/336028i397271F4751FBA0A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Issue-Limits-Report_Code.png")

This report is not part of the app yet, but you will find a guide on how to add it manually in the article. Or just let me know and I will help you do that. :)

Hope this helps!
