      Problem Definition

      As an admin, I am constantly doing JIRA modifications which require re-index (building new projects, adding custom fields). Notification pop-up is constantly in the way after this operations:

      There is a cron job that runs every night to reindex JIRA, so I'm not going to run re-index each time.

      Suggested Solution

      I would like to have a option to suppress pop-up for some period of time or make it disappear after short period of time (1 s).

      Workaround

      • Change CSS and hide notification pop-up by adding following CSS into Announcement Banner (Administration > System > Announcement Banner)
        Announcement Banner
        <style type="text/css">
    #aui-flag-container {
        display:none !important;
    }
</style>

        Note: this modification is not supported by Atlassian. It will hide other notifications also.

      Notes

      These notification is pushed by JIRA backend itself to UI:

      require(['jquery', 'jira/flag'], function ($, flag) {
            flag.showInfoMsg(null, "We recommend ... ", { dismissalKey: "com.atlassian.jira.reindex.required" });

      UI analyses com.atlassian.jira.reindex.required key and hide notification pop-up if key is present.
      This key could be pushed from backed to UI as part of page (JIRA backend makes this decision at com.atlassian.jira.user.flag.FlagDismissalServiceImpl ):

      WRM._unparsedData["com.atlassian.jira.jira-header-plugin:dismissedFlags.flags"]="{\"dismissed\":[\"com.atlassian.jira.reindex.required\",\"com.atlassian.jira.baseurl\",\"com.atlassian.jira.tzdetect.-21600000,-18000000\"]}";

            This is, effectively, a useless notification at larger scale.
            For our instance this is a constant and must be continually dismissed by all administrators.
            It needs a way to be disabled without suppressing other, useful, notices.

            This UI feature is dangerous and I know it has caused customer outages in the past when inexperienced admins see the warning and just start a foreground reindex. It should be both less intrusive and give clearer information and WARNING

            Agree with others that this is very annoying. I bet I have had to close it 100 times today. Making a large number of updates in projects and will run a reindex overnight. I do not need to be reminded over and over and over and.... well you get the point.

            I would accept that it pops up but as the requester indicated make it fade away on its own. This should be a very simple change that should have been addressed long ago based on the age of this request.

            @venkatesh Don't be absurd, it's only been a bit more than 4 years since he posted that comment. Let him drink his coffee and let's hope he gets back to us in 5-6 years or so. After all, much more urgent and simpler issues has taken longer.

            Please add! So annoying. We re-index on a scheduled basis, which happens to be nightly, anyway.

            It was not mentioned yet but this popup is also dangerous in very big JIRA instances for newby admins as it can lead them to click and start a full/background reindex during business hours and potentially block/slowdown JIRA plateform for many hours.

            Admins should be advertised users, fine, but the fact that JIRA do not delegate much configurations to end users often leads to having multiple level of admin expertises to handle different level of tasks, and the less experienced ones can easily do this mistake because of the popup spam.
