    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      There are two temporary directories that Jira uses;

      • <JIRA_HOME_DIR>/tmp
      • <JIRA_INSTALL_DIR>/temp

      Documentation, Important directories and files, states for <JIRA_HOME_DIR>/tmp that

      tmp

      Any temporary content created for various runtime functions such as exporting, importing, file upload and indexing is stored under this directory.

      You can remove files from this directory while JIRA is running, but we recommend that you shut down JIRA first before altering the contents of this directory.

      However, this definition seems to belong to <JIRA_INSTALL_DIR>/temp instead of <JIRA_HOME_DIR>/tmp, as java.io.tempdir environment variable is set to <JIRA_INSTALL_DIR>/temp on a default installation.

      Current outcome

      As described above

      Expected outcome

      <JIRA_INSTALL_DIR>/temp is added to the documentation with the correct definition
