Web-App Scan Results: Increase Pagination Option or Copy-All-Button Feature

[LukasWohlfart]

Regarding the Pagination Size Options in the Web-App Report I suggest to either:

1. add a fifth pageSizeOption significantly larger than the current maximum of 500. e.g. 5000
   or
2. add a Copy-All-Button Feature

Reasoning: Working with the Scan Results from the Web-App in another tool may require to copy the whole Scan Results [Use-case e.g. to filter on the path]. In many projects the Scan Results have way more than 500 detections making it necessary to copy paste multiple times by flipping through the pages.

That sounds like the wrong way to achieve what you want. Depending on what that other tool is, it might more sense to write a custom reporter plugin for your use-case.

@LukasWohlfart The 500 limit was chosen not to overload the web browser - ORT is used by organizations that employ license clearance teams in India who don't use the latest and greatest hardware. Recommend you like Sebastian said a customer reporter via AsciiDoc Template or PlainTextTemplate - You can even use these to generate an Excel of all the findings. If you don't have the skills in-house within your employer then I am happy to connect you with one of the several commercial ORT support providers

This issue was brought up in the ORT Community Meeting by @porsche-rbieniek again. It seems our replies were somehow perceived as harsh, which clearly was not our intention. @LukasWohlfart, would your use-case be solved by a reporter-specific option that allows to customize the pagination limit (but still defaults to 500)?

[LukasWohlfart]

@sschuberth yes the option to set a custom pagination limit would be a feasible trade-off.
Defaulting to 500 is not an issue.

I've changed my mind an decided to add 1000 and 5000 page size option unconditionally. Use at your own risk 😉, see #7144.
