Tolerances in Model not Updating Correctly when Parameters are Updated

I am trying to create part templates so that they can be opened and the values can be inputted so that the model changes appropriately.  Most of this seems to work, but for some reason when I change the tolerance in the Parameters, it doesn't change on the model.

 

You can see in this screenshot, the tolerance for the OD (.0005) is pulled from a parameter called OD_TOL and it populates correctly here and in the general notes on the bottom left.

The general note is also populated by this parameter:

However, if I change the value of the parameter, here I am changing it from .0005 to .0002:

The value changes in the General Note:

But the value does not change on the model: (you can see the model and the note no longer match)

If I go back into the model annotation and edit the tolerance, it appears to be a numeric value not a parameter, but it will let me re-type the name of the parameter and then it will update, but only if I go in there and re-type it every time:

How can I get it to update the annotation when the parameter is updated without updating it manually every time?

 

(Bonus question:  Why can I use a parameter for almost everything EXCEPT the tolerance values in Feature Control Frames?)
