Description:
An hidden section (whether or not pointing to external link) reappear (after a variable change or by disabling the masking) only at the next file opening.
The button Tools / Update / Update All has no effect, and even generating the PDF doesn't update the display of sections...

1.Hide a section with a condition based on a variable
2.Change the variable to display the section
3.Save the file and reopen it

Actual Results:
Hidden section reappear at the opening

Expected Results:
Hidden section should reappear at the variable changing (or with the button Update)


Reproducible: Always

Hidden section stay hidden

Switch variable to N, and next Y to see the problem...
Comment 3 Olivier Hallot 2021-04-30 21:45:45 UTC
Confirmed.
On changing the variable to unhide, the section stays hidden, no matter how you update all. To view the hidden section, save and reload the file.

I can't reproduce this - even with 7.1. In any case, it would be good, if Nicolas and Olivier retested this.
