Plugin cache

The "Plugin cache" tab is available under the App Configuration > Advanced page only on Jira Cloud.

The features for checking and clearing the cache on Jira Server / Jira Data Center are available under the App Configuration > Advanced > Technical info page.

Outdated caches can be refreshed:

When you cannot access tasks that should be reachable to you.
When you cannot find newly created Jira entities (filters, groups, components, issue fields, statuses, transitions, workflows) to populate the scope, edit tasks, or create new quick filters.

Plugin cache refreshing

To refresh the cache information, you can use:

Feature	Description
Refresh all cache	It clears the BigPicture’s cache, which will result in full synchronization of all Boxes - it triggers a recalculation. Most of the problems with outdated information which can cause errors can be resolved by clearing the cache. Clicking the “Refresh all cache" button invalidates the plugin cache which forces complete data to reload from the Jira database for all boxes and all users. Depending on the volume of data in your Jira, it can take up to several minutes to execute while the application will not allow data editing during that time. Use it with caution as it will influence server performance and users' ability to work with the application. Note that If a Box is not opened for more than 24 hours, the cache will be automatically cleared and a full synchronization will be triggered. While clearing the plugin cache should correct most of the problems with showing outdated information or occasional glitches, it is important to treat this procedure as the last resort in case of unidentified problems. It should NOT be used routinely, and if such a need arises, please get in touch with support for troubleshooting.
Refresh settings cache	It clears the following cache: Quick filters Task fields Statuses Workflows Transitions Components Boards Projects Dependency and link types

Refresh Trello cache	It clears all of Trello's cache.
