Issue Summary

maxResults for Search for issues using JQL enhanced search (GET) does not work as indicated in the documentation

The documentation indicates:

maxResults integer
 
The maximum number of items to return per page. To manage page size, API may return fewer items per page where a large number of fields are requested. The greatest number of items returned per page is achieved when requesting id or key only. It returns max 5000 issues.
Default: 50 Format: int32

Steps to Reproduce

Make a web request to the endpoint /rest/api/3/search/jql ensuring that the JQL returns a large number of issues (1,000+), including the maxResults to something large, like 1,000, while selecting only the ID or key field to maximize the number of results as per documentation. For example:

https://rchiquete.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/search/jql?jql=created%20>%3D%20-300d&fields="issuekey"&maxResults=1000

Expected Results

Up to 5,000 results are received per page.

Actual Results

The maximum results are always capped at 100

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
