Summary

This article explains the limitation of the Program Increment association to a Portfolio Epic.

Solution

In Jira Align, there is a maximum number of Program Increments per Portfolio Epic and this is hard-coded to 99.

If the user attempts to associate more than 99 PIs to an Epic, an error will be received stating that the user reached the maximum number of PIs that can be assigned to an Epic.
