Possible page caching issue?

I think I reported this a long time ago. On any of the VPN pages if I made a change I would have to refresh the page (maybe clear browser cache) for the page to display correctly. But it seem to happen to only a few people and Merlin could not reproduce it on his end. It may happen on some other pages and seem to start happening two or three firmware back. Using MS Edge (updated to latest version) with ASUS RT-AX86U Pro as main router and RT-AX86U as AiMesh Router.
 
Has anyone over the past 2 years or so experienced an issue where they would make changes to a page, apply them, and the displayed page would show the original settings without their changes?

I just spent a few hours digging through that issue with the OpenVPN Client page, and having finally tracked down the cause I devised a fix. The issue was probably introduced with a change made by Asus in a 2024 GPL merge. I was wondering if anyone else also experienced it. If so, which page, which router model, and which browser?

I know the issue exists on Wifi 7 models, I haven't checked yet if other 3006 devices or if 3004 were also affected by it. A quick way to test is to go to the OpenVPN Client page, change the Description, apply, and see if the new Description appears, or the previous one.
I noticed this on my AXE16000 a while back on the WAN settings page. No matter what changes I made to DNS settings - IPs, DNSSEC, Prevent DoH, DoT, etc. None of it would stick. I can't remember everything I did to troubleshoot the issue at the time, but I remember what finally fixed it was a hard reset, flashing an older firmware version, a hard reset, and then flashing a newer firmware, and then a hard reset, and then inputting all of my configuration manually.

Yes. AX86U Pro. URL Filter tab on the Firewall page. Edge browser. Added a bunch of URLs to block/deny, hit Apply, and after the refresh, the entries weren’t there. I observed this a few months ago. I didn’t end up trying to fix it.
