Re-installing Jira Plugins, will data associated plugin be retained?

[Ricky Lam]

Hey there, due to some billings, I may need to uninstall and reinstall some plugins. I am worried that doing this will lose data/configuration tied to those installation and impact the development teams. 

Does anyone know if data/configuration will be retained for uninstall/reinstall of plugins? I am looking specifically at

- Xray

- Release Management

- Structure

- Tempo

Hi @Ricky Lam ,

Welcome to the Community.

For Xray, data stays stored for 60 days. Hope to have helped.

Best, Francisco.

Hi @Ricky Lam This depends on the plugins. As some plugins have clean up tasks to remove the plugins data associated with it, but now a days most of the plugins does not delete the plugin data after uninstalling the plugins and data will be available once the plugin is re-installed.

If you have a Standbox instance you can try uninstalling the plugin and verify if the data is available or not.

Hi, @Ricky Lam; I am a part of the Release Management team, so I can confirm that the data will be retained.

Thanks,

Yuri
