Constant fetching value even after deletion.

Amit Mishra over 8 years ago

I observed a strange behavior in Appian 16.2,
A constant value is reflecting in one interface whereas I have deleted that constant permanently few days ago. I re-verified and that constant was nowhere in the environment. Also, I tried creating a new constant with same name and it was not showing any error like “Name already exists” which is surprising. Once new constant with same name created then the new value reflected in the interface.
Is this an Appian bug? or, Why is it happening?

@amitm887 This happens because of Cache, even few days back i too face the same issue, i just switched from my current browser to Internet Explorer and as expected my interface got broken as the constant was not available anymore.

So as Appian works with cache, so i would say cache could be the probable reason behind this. So as per my understanding we cannot call it as bug
