will the change of type def. be updated to all connected controls?

Hi all,

  I am creating a type def. on a cluster in which numeric, string, array and error in/out will be contained. I save it as type def. (*.ctl). I drag the *.ctl file to a new VI which will create a copy. Later if I modify the original ctl file (e.g. change the label of the controls inside), the change will be refelcted to all related controls as mentioned in the help "When you save a custom control or indicator as a type definition, any data type changes you make to the type definition affect all instances of the type definition in all the VIs that use it." I wonder if this is true for any change of properity or only for some property. I try, for example, to change the data display format (scientific e.g.), change the size of the controls or even replace the regular controls with silver counterpart. I found that the changes will not reflect to all connected instances.

 

p.s. after the changes, I click "apply changes" and save the ctl but the same result
