# Limit the number of task sys_ids returned for reverse matching rules

# Limit the number of task sys_ids returned for reverse matching rules {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Yokohama  
Updated January 30, 2025  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Reverse matching rules return a list of case sys_ids. Limit the number of cases
returned by configuring the number in the reverse.matchingrule.entity.limit system
property.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1. In the navigation filter, type <kbd class="ph userinput">sys_properties.list</kbd>.
2. Search for the reverse.matchingrule.entity.limit system property.
3. In the number field, change the number of cases returned.  
   The default number is 30.

## Result

If the number of cases returned is more than the value listed in the system property, the reverse matching rule doesn't run for Scripted and Selection Criteria matching rules.
