When importing a resource from a file, e.g., a Vision window, Designer doesn't update the "resource documentation" field during the save. Although the resource.json "Documentation" value matches the imported resource, Designer needs to be closed and opened again for it to display the correct value. Is this the expected behavior of Designer?

Not intended, just a low impact bug.

Does pressing the "Update" button on the designer toolbar help? Or you could simply File -\> Open the same project again, that may be slightly quicker than relaunching entirely.

Thanks for the reply. Not seeing any effect from pressing the "Update" button.
