Hello everyone, 

You can add limit the search results with the GO! JQL plugin. 

JQL: issue in limitedResults("priority = Blocker", "20")

Here is the documentation.

I hope it helps, bests! 

We need LIMIT or TOP in JQL

Could someone take a look at this suggestion again? 

bc32e99a92d8 Please reopen this suggestion so we can vote on it again. Many people here have provided their use cases.

Yes - very suprised that LIMIT is still not available? Limiting indeed - need to put in a quick fix on the filter of the board, as the JQL there today stopped working an getting error that more than 5000 items are on the board. Checked filter and it is correct...

Hello everyone, 

You can add limit the search results with the GO! JQL plugin. It is for Jira Server and Jira Data Center.

The Jira Cloud version will be released soon. Here is the documentation.

I hope it helps, bests! 

If y'all at Jira would like to think about this again, I'd be soooooo happy!

On a more serious note, while yes, this is useful for visualizations, it's far more useful for basic automation - especially when it comes to just-in-time planning and alerting.

I understand if the development effort is too difficult or complex, but it would be nice to think if something could be done...

We need this, please add.

This would be very useful. I need to pick an issue from every Sprint, any issue (but just one), as a representative of that Sprint to drive some graphical report because the issue contains the start date and end date of its respective Sprint. The report does not have access to any of the global Jira environment variables, so using the actual issues is the only way.

Wish you had the support for this.

this is a basic functionality for a query language .. Splunk, Kibana, SQL do it .. why can't Jira do it ?
