Hi Jason, Wasn't this "new" feature just going back to the way it used to be prior to 7.6.3? In 7.5 and earlier you could just set your cache expiry to 0 and then only ever have to flush the mid-tier, not the client's browser. Since 7.6.3 the behaviour where you need to flush the local cache as well as the mid-tier for form changes etc was sprung on us and now has there been a rethink?
Yes I much prefer the "new" behaviour which I believe is similar to the way it worked in mid tier 7.5 and earlier.
