      Issue Summary

      In Administration >> System >> General Configuration >> Advanced Settings, the jira.search.views.max.limit setting contains the following description:

      This number sets the absolute limit on the number of issues that can be exported from search results. Users trying to request more get a 403 (Forbidden) HTTP error code. To disable, set to '-1'. After changing it, update the value of 'jira.search.views.default.max' to a value that is lower than or equal to this one.

      Per JRASERVER-67839 : Unable to disable the maximum limit of number of exported issues from GUI, this is no longer the case as we explicitly do not allow for disabling this setting by design.

      However, the description is still outdated, as attempting to set this value to -1 will instead cause the following error which immediately contradicts the description:

      Value must be at least 0

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Navigate to Administration >> System >> General Configuration >> Advanced Settings

      Expected Results

      The description for jira.search.views.max.limit does not contain the following sentence:

      To disable, set to '-1'.

      Actual Results

      The description contains an incorrect instruction.
