Creating JIRA issues from Confluence is not updating the project list based on the selected JIRA instance selection

Environment:

JIRA 7.1.4
JIRA 7.1.6
Confluence 5.10.8

Cannot replicate this with Confluence 5.8.18 or Confluence 5.9.9. Can replicate it with Confluence 5.10.0 and Confluence 5.10.7 as well.

Steps to Reproduce:
Create Application Links between Confluence 5.10.8 to both JIRA instances

JIRA 7.1.4 has the following projects:

JIRA 7.1.6 has the following projects:

Highlight some text on a Confluence page and select "Create JIRA issue":

The JIRA set a primary will be displayed with it's projects:

However, if you change for the other JIRA instance linked to your Confluence, the project list won't be updated:

If you end up clicking on "Create" and the project doesn't exist on your JIRA instance, the issue creation screen will keep spinning until times out. Logs won't show any stacktrace.

Resolution

The recommended resolution is to upgrade to Confluence 6.2.3 and above when it is released.

If upgrading is not possible and you are running Confluence 6.0.2 or above, an alternative is to upgrade the JIRA content plugin to 2.0.5 or newer which can be downloaded here: confluence-jira-content-2.0.5.jar Note that this version of the plugin is only known to work with Confluence 6.0.2 and above.
