Use this as a reminder any time a fix doesn't seem to take effect even though the node clearly shows the updated configuration.
Steps
- Make the fix inside a node, save the node.
- Save the workflow itself if prompted.
- Click Publish (or toggle Active off and back on, depending on the version) again, even if the workflow was already published before the edit.
- Only then re-trigger a real test.
Gotcha
On instances using a publish/versioning model, editing and saving a node updates a draft, but real incoming triggers (a webhook, a scheduled run) keep executing whatever was last published. This can look exactly like the fix "didn't work," when actually the fix is correct and simply hasn't gone live yet. If a bug seems to persist identically after a fix, checking whether the workflow was republished is a fast, easy thing to rule out before spending more time debugging the logic itself.
Quick reference
Fix → Save node → Save workflow → Publish → then test.
