Clearing cache and sys properties (GlidePropertiesDB)

Found a weird situation where the cache did not clear after updating a property through the versions related list (choosing 'Revert to this version' option), so the incorrect value is still retained in the cache. If you do come across a similar behaviour and want to see what is in the cache you can run GlideProperties.dump(); in Scripts Background. Then you look for the property of interest and compare it to what the value is in the sys_properties table. Whenever a property is inserted, updated or deleted the instance will do a cache flush, which is rather extreme in my view. So, to fix the issue, ran GlidePropertiesDB.invalidate(); in Scripts Background, which does a quick property refresh.

[See related post for onchange client script which is asynch friendly: dialog with callback ] var _canSubmit = false ; var _dialog; function onSubmit () { if ( _canSubmit ) { return true ; } /* */ //Check for Assignment Group if ( g_form . getValue ( 'assignment_group' ) == g_scratchpad . assignmentGroup && g_scratchpad . serviceOfferingABC == true ) { var wNote = g_form . getValue ( 'work_notes' ); //If Work note updated if ( wNote != '' && wNote != null ) { //Alert user to remove any Sensitiv...
