To configure the maximum number of records returned for a list of parameters, add the system property glide.sg.list.max_items_number.
Before you begin
Role required: admin
About this task
Default is 1000.
Note: The maximum number of rows returned for a parameters list is limited by the maximum number of rows returned for data items. In other words, the value for system property glide.sg.list.max_items_number cannot be greater than the value for system property glide.sg.data_item.row_count. For example, if you set the value of glide.sg.list.max_items_number to 50 but the value of glide.sg.list.max_items_number is 20, then you may only receive 20 records in your parameters list.
