Text replacement changes disappear after publishing

Appended multiline text appears updated in the canvas but remains old on the live site and reverts after a fresh load.

🐛 I've had a couple of time where I have updated text on the canvas using the text replace beta tool, published the site, but the changes haven't updated on the live site.

possible repro:

  • Updated text on the canvas using Text edit Foo updated to Bar
  • Published
  • Changes weren't live, live site shows Foo but Ploy canvas still showed the updated text (Bar)
  • Refreshed the page, and (I think) they were still there in the canvas (Bar)
  • Fresh Ploy, they were back to previous state (Foo)
  • This was text that was added to the end of the existing sentence, and included 3 new lines of text
  • Doesn't seem to happen if it's editing existing text

oh hmmm!! that sounds really odd....

@Mark! as a test... could you use Ploy Lite to do a quick text change.. and see if that helps fixes anything? 🙏

Yeah, I used that in the end. The update didn't stick.

I just tried again with a Text edit, published and those chnages went live.... I think I was trying to copy paste initially which didn't work

No, ploy lite worked, and text edit works most of the time too.
