It is not possible to set a max number of records returned from query by using a URL - Support and Troubleshooting

It is not possible to set a max number of records returned from query by using a URL Issue  It is not possible to set a limit through a URL for the maximum number of records returned from a query.

Example Navigate to "task_add_affected_cis.list" Notice the "Add all (###)" button at the top right corner (where "###" is the number of records returned by the query). This is what is being tried to be controlled by modifying the URL. (If the UI Action displays "Add all (158792)", a way to change that to limit the records to only 10,000 causing the UI action to display "Add all (10,000)", was what was being looked for.

Resolution The "sysparm_limit" parameter was tested unsuccessfully to achieve this, because sysparm_limit only exists for the Table API for REST services.

Rest API

GlideList does not have any code designed to handle that parameter. It is not possible to do this through out-of-the-box configurations.

An alternative would be to create a Business Rule to filter out the query results, or modify the query to restrict the results, but it is not possible to limit the number of results to display fewer records than the actual results of the query.
