ℹ️ Note

  • If you're using a Jira version prior to 4.4, you would need to make the above changes in $jira-install/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/jira-application.properties and then restart Jira.

  • If you're using Jira version 4.4 and above, you can make the same settings changes under Administration > System > General Configuration > Advanced Settings without restarting.
