API Stability Preview

The setGlobalDefaultCachePolicy() GraphQL mutation field is used to set the global default cache policy. This policy will be applied to a repository if neither a repository or organization cache policy is set. This field is not yet available. It's described here as a preview. Cache policies are a limited feature and is subject to change.

For information on configuring a cache, see the CACHE_STORAGE_DIRECTORY reference page.

Syntax

Below is the syntax for the setGlobalDefaultCachePolicy() mutation field:

graphql
setGlobalDefaultCachePolicy(
     input: SetGlobalDefaultCachePolicyInput!
   ): boolean

There are no special return datatypes for this mutation field. Below is an example of how it might be used:
