Design elements caching "stuck"?

Hi, all,

I changed an input validation formula @Failure message in a design template and did a Refresh Design on the database, but when input validation trips, the message is still the old text. I checked the form in the database, and the design was definitely refreshed from the template. How can it be showing language which is no longer there?

I closed Notes, deleted cache.ndk, and re-opened Notes. I also refreshed the design again, but it still brings up the old @Failure message.

This kind of thing has never happened to me before (in 8 yrs). Both the template and database are local. If design elements are stored in the local cache.ndk file and I deleted it but the problem remained, what am I missing?

TIA for any insight.

A few possibilities:You aren’t using the same replica in the client as you are in Designer.

The document has not yet been closed and reopened to pick up the new design.

The document contains a stored form (look for a $TITLE item).

You are hallucinating. Check whether your medication is expired.

Andre,

LOL, thanks, yes, lately I have been suspecting the last possibility, rubbing my eyes and blinking, thinking I can’t be seeing what I’m seeing… but the replica in both the client and Designer is the same, the doc definitely has been closed and reopened (in fact, so has the database)… I will check for a stored form, but I seriously doubt it, unless that can somehow happen accidentally. I will check it on Monday and report back, as I am not in the office tomorrow.

Thanks.

OK, I offer my humble apologies for wasting anyone’s time. I finally realized that it was not the @Failure message I was seeing, but the VALIDATE_REQUEST message in the InViewEdit code! I should have mentioned that I was editing documents from the view (failing to specify the context disqualifies the original post as crispy!), but I thought it was the input validation code running. I had forgotten to change the VALIDATE_REQUEST code when I changed the input validation message. Works fine now.

Thanks, and sorry again for posting an oversight.

Also check to make sure the ‘Prohibit Design refresh or replace to modify’ flag for the design element(s) has not been set.
