XF 2.1 How to rebuild the custom field cache?

[Matt C.]

In one of my add-ons, I am programmatically adding new custom fields. @Chris D said I need to rebuild the custom field cache after doing this.

Not a bug - Custom user fields don't show unless saved via admincp

Possibly as designed due to some kind of cache, but if any custom user fields are added by an add-on - they aren't editable in account details until one of the fields are saved via the admincp. https://xenforo.com/community/threads/ah-gamer-profiles.156864/post-1313965 I didn't have any custom...

How would do this? Thank you.

Is it this?

public function rebuildUserFieldValuesCache()
{
    $this->repository('XF:UserField')->rebuildUserFieldValuesCache($this->user_id);
}

The exact method to call would depend on the type of field being created, but since they all build from the same core system, the method is called rebuildFieldCache and you'd call it on the correct field type's repository.

For example, for custom user fields:

\XF::repository('XF:UserField')->rebuildFieldCache();
