Plugin triggers a "please reload" dialog after every job

[dimo414]

I've been noticing for a while now that if I leave OctoPrint open for too long it ends up displaying a "Please Reload" overlay dialog even though nothing should have changed with the server. A few searches found similar reports like OctoPrint/OctoPrint#2950 which suggest the issue is plugins writing to the OctoPrint config unnecessarily. After snapshotting my config for a little while I hit another dialog today and this plugin appears to be a culprit:

$ diff -u /tmp/octoprint-config-2022-07-31_05.53.57.yaml /tmp/octoprint-config-2022-08-02_05.59.26.yaml

I'm guessing this job ID value should be stored somewhere other than the OctoPrint config, since updating it seems to trigger this "please reload" overlay unnecessarily.

AFAIK this is still an issue.

@OllisGit I don't mind this bug sitting idle, I'm sure you have better things to do, but could you turn off the auto-closer? I don't know what else to do than ping this every month which is just obnoxious for everyone involved.

Please store the current job id elsewhere to prevent this reloading.
I'm not familiar with Octoprint plugins but I will try to take a look when I find the time.
