By default, structures have a 10,000 item limit. This limit can be increased up to 50,000 items - but please do so with caution. Increasing the item limit may may impact overall performance - not just for the individual structure, but for the entire Jira instance. The larger the item limit, the more strain it can put on your instance.

A high item limit could result in:

• Longer load times for larger structures.

• Increased load on the Jira instance leading to further performance problems with other apps and Jira itself. At 50k items, this excess load could be significant. 

• Less frequent syncing, which could result in outdated data appearing in the structure. 

• Decreased or paused inline editing and action handling.
