FTV SE Memory Tag Sticks When Copied/Duplicated

Wondering if anyone has seen this before and has a quick fix.

Often times, when I'm modifying or creating a display, I'll copy/paste components to reuse, and I'll create duplicates of the associated tags and parameter files. Using templates and parameter files throughout for popups.

I make sure to replace ALL of the references to the old tag name(s) on the display, in the tags, and in the parameter files.

There's usually a string memory tag that's used on the popup.

Then, when I go to test the popup with the new parameter file, the old string name is still there! Despite using a parameter file that doesn't even reference that tag, and the tag that it does reference is an entirely different string. Even when adding a new test box on a test display, completely unrelated to the parameter file or the popup, the old string is still shown.

I've re-launched the application multiple times.

I've triple-checked that everything is pointed at the right tags. I'm at a loss.

If I use a string input box I am able to change it, but that's very tedious.

My guess is that the client has cached the information. You might try flushing the display cache from the command line when you test your client and see if that clears it up.

I don't recall the syntax but you should be able to build the command in the command line tool
