Summary
Within Settings > Applications > Application Links within Jira, if there a link to another Atlassian product such as Bitbucket for example, the version of the linked product is listed. After an upgrade of that linked product (Bitbucket in this example), the version listed will be incorrectly showing the older version prior to the upgrade.
Environment
Any Jira environment with Application Links to another Atlassian Product
Cause
This version is populated within the Application Links interface is cached upon initial start up of Jira and the connection to the linked application. So if the linked application is upgraded and restarted but Jira is not, the version will still show the older version because the cache has not been refreshed.
Solution
Restart the Jira instance after upgrading the linked application. After Jira reboots and connects to the upgraded application, the proper version listed will be listed.
