This might take a bit to describe...

and apologies if this is logged elsewhere

Was just editing a mission and got to Step 3 (test mission). While test-driving, I noticed some lightpost descriptions needed tweaking. For example, I'd misnamed a book "Song of Stoner" when it should be "Song of Stone" (Freudian slip I guess). So I went back and edited the lightpost, saved it, and tested again. Surprise, "Song of Stoner" came up again.

So, went back and edited the lightpost again, making very sure I clicked OK, then went to the Edit Mission page (ie Step 1), THEN went and tested mission again. "Song of Stoner" again. Bleh.

In the end I edited the lightposts and just published without testing, since the edits seemed to stay if I didn't test.

This is most likely an issue with the caching of data. Your changes were probably successful but weren't immediately reflected in the overlays.

I don't however deal in probably in this matter so I'll check it out for sure.

Ok so it looks like the edits made it through. So I'm going to tweak the cache so the change is more immediate. Hope this helps. Thanks for the heads up :)
