[DOCS] FORCE_AUTOUPDATE_PLUGINS missing from Environment Variables reference"

Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Jan 12, 2026 by coygeek Closed Jan 17, 2026

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

docs/en/settings.md

Section/Topic

Environment variables

Current Documentation

The main/CHANGELOG.md for version 2.1.2 states:

Added FORCE_AUTOUPDATE_PLUGINS environment variable to allow plugin autoupdate even when the main auto-updater is disabled

However, the "Environment variables" reference table in docs/en/settings.md does not currently list this variable.

What's Wrong or Missing?

A new environment variable was introduced in v2.1.2, but the primary documentation for configuration settings was not updated to reflect this addition. Users relying on the settings reference page will not be aware that this configuration option exists.

Suggested Improvement

Add FORCE_AUTOUPDATE_PLUGINS to the environment variables table in docs/en/settings.md.

Suggested entry:
| Variable | Purpose |
| :--- | :--- |
| FORCE_AUTOUPDATE_PLUGINS | Set to 1 or true to allow plugins to auto-update even if DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER is set. |

Impact

Low - Minor confusion or inconvenience

Additional Context

Found while reviewing Changelog v2.1.2 against current documentation.
