As the usage of JIRA applications goes on, some users can end up with lots of filters created and also will have lots of recent issues on its history, clogging up the Issues drop-down menu (as shown on the screenshots at the right) and affecting usability (especially on smaller screens).

This article describes how to customize the number of filters and recent issues shown in that menu.

How to?

You can see the screenshots of the right to see what are the changes that going to be reflected.

1. Jira アプリケーションをシャットダウンします。

2. Go to the JIRA applications Home Directory;

3. Add the below lines to the jira-config.properties, changing the numeral to the number of issues/filters you'd like to be displayed;

   jira.max.issue.filter.dropdown.items = 3
   jira.max.issue.history.dropdown.items = 3

   This file is not present by default in the latest JIRA applications releases, so it may have to be created. Make sure read and write permissions have been granted on this file to the user that runs the JIRA application.

4. Save the file;

5. Start the application;
