Summary

The third-party plugin Field Security Plugin for Jira, enforces a 100MB response limit on API Calls. The response size is controlled by the system property: com.quisapps.jira.fieldsecurity.max.response.size. To avoid this issue, set this property to a higher limit, or reach out to the vendor support for more details.
