Dynamic Attributes not updating

[Anonymous]

I know this issue has been posted alot & usually the answer is attsync but that doesnt seem to fix my problem. I have a dynamic block that has a series of visibility states which have different attributes which when you pick on the different states it displays different notes. I have modified the block to display different text in a slightly different order. the problem is that one of the options is not displaying the right text. I'm hoping i dont have to recreate this thing from the start. It is attribute number 38 when you look at it in the block editor. When the block is inserted into the drawing i get the wrong text. I did copy some of the attributes around & renamed them.

You have two copies of the attribute "NOTE38".  One has the desired text as default, the other doesn't.    The second copy is not visible in any state, but is cofusing AutoCAD.  Delete the unwanted one and the other one will display the correct text.  You can use a crossing window to select both.

...and copying Attribs in DynBlks can lead unwanted behaviour as well.

Always create Attrib's anew when using them in DynBlks IMHO.

As you stated; make sure the TAG on each Attrib is unique and that the Attrib is Locked.

I haven't had any issues with copying attributes provided the name is made unique.
