I encountered this issue when duplicating a view that had an SVG component with a pattern definition.

- View 1 has an SVG object with a pattern definition
- View 1 is referenced by EmbeddedView objects on Page 1
- View 2 was created by duplicating View 1
- View 2 pattern definition was modified and the SVG object updated in the view editor
- View 2 is referenced by EmbeddedView objects on Page 1, and the pattern would not update here

I solved the issue by changing the View 2 pattern `id` value, and updating the internal SVG references there. During troubleshooting tried closing and opening both the Designer and my web browser.

The issue may be tied to [this bug](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bug-6988-embedded-view-template-instance-behavior/68170/), as it seems like the way pattern definitions are handled has something to do with this.
