Issue Summary

If a Jira Issues Macro on a Confluence page contains either "Epic Link" or "Epic Name" the macro will not refresh automatically nor manually

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an Application Link between Confluence Data Center and Jira Data Center
2. In Jira:
   1. Create a new project in Jira
   2. Create an Epic in the project
3. In Confluence:
   1. Add a Jira issues macro with JQL filter
   2. Add "Epic Link" to the Columns to Display config
   3. Save
4. In Jira: Make changes to the Jira issues that are displayed in the Confluence macro
5. In Confluence: Click the refresh button

Expected Results

The Jira Issues macro will update when you:

1. Manually click the refresh button
2. Refresh automatically after 5 minutes (when the cache refreshed)

Actual Results

The macro never updates and all data is stale making the data unreliable

Additional Notes

• Replicated with Jira 9.12.8

Workarounds

Option 1: Remove the columns
Remove the columns "Epic Name" and "Epic Link" from the Display Options in Jira Issues Macro

Option 2: Setting the cache to 0 minutes

1. Locate Confluence Jira Plugin and press Configure
2. Set the Jira Issues macro cache from the default of 5 minutes to 0 minutes
   • This value is persisted into the database:

     select * from BANDANA where BANDANAKEY='com.atlassian.confluence.extra.jira.admin.cachesetting'
     

3.  A restart of of Confluence is required for the Jira Issues macro cache of 0 minutes to take effect!
