Plugin cache

1 Security and access
2 Plugin cache information
3 Plugin cache refreshing

The "Plugin cache" tab differs between Jira Cloud and Jira Server / Jira Data Center.

Outdated caches can be refreshed: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.

Security and access

Only Jira administrators can access this page.
Click the "wrench" icon in the top-right corner and select "Advanced" from the drop-down list.

Refresh all cache			IMPORTANT The "Refresh all cache" button is NOT available in the Jira Cloud. If you need to use this button, please please get in touch with support to manage the issue. For Jira Server / Jira Data Center Refresh the App's cache, which will result in full synchronization of all the Boxes - it triggers a recalculation. Most problems with outdated information that can cause errors can be resolved by clearing the cache. Clicking the "Refresh all cache" button invalidates the plugin cache, forcing complete data to reload from the Jira database for all boxes and all users (complete recalculation of all the program boxes, similar to recreating the programs from scratch). Depending on the volume of data in your Jira, it can take up to several minutes to execute, and the application will not allow data editing during that time. Use it cautiously, as it will influence server performance and users' ability to work with the application. 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 While clearing the plugin cache should correct most of the problems with showing outdated information or occasional glitches, it is important to treat this procedure as a last resort in case of unidentified problems.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.
