I'm doing some M/R testing and realizing I would love to be able to do:
Copy code
function getInputData() {
  return {
    type: "search",
    id: 123,
    limit: 10 // <= this!
  };
}

So basically just get the first N records?

Right
Without having to run the search and slice the array myself
Could then be extended to something like
Copy code
limit: runtime.getCurrentScript().getParameter("custscript_record_limit")

Copy code
function getInputData() {
  return search.load({
    type: "search",
    id: 123,
  }).run().getRange(0, 10);
}

Yeah I know how to do it manually like that
But it would be nice not to have to refactor my code for testing purposes
I don't want to run my M/R on tens of thousands of records for every change I make
so a simple limit like this would make that extremely simple

But you’d still be modifying code when testing vs production. Why not just let the saved search limit the number of records it returns? If you create a script parameter for the datasource which points to a saved search using List/Record you can point it to the production SS or the test SS to get the number of records your MR script needs.

Modifying code sure, but most likely never my `getInputData`; especially one so simple as that. Given the way I architect my code, once the entry points are in place, I almost never touch the primary script again. All my work is done in other custom modules. I shouldn't have to open my main script again. Using alternate Saved Searches as a script parameter is also an approach I take.
This way, however, facilitates an approach that does not require a secondary Deployment
