What could be the reason IntelliJ 2020.3 does not offer the option to update the Kotlin plugin to 1.5.0 (or even 1.4.32 actually) ?

[mbonnin]

Looks like the toolbox Keep using 2020.3 option also applies to plugins... I unchecked it and now I'm offered the update

Follow up question: can I update the Kotlin plugin to 1.4.32 but not 1.5.0 ?

Where is the "keep using..." Option?

[mbonnin]

That's in the "jetbrains toolbox" app

(click the small hexagon next to the IntelliJ version you want the settings of)

Also, it is possible to upload to individual plugin versions by installing plugins manually (https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/how-do-i-update-the-kotlin-plugin-in-intellij-15-0-2/1361)

I ended up filing a bug against the 1.5.0 Kotlin plugin: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-11622
