I am observing that the infoChange lifecycle is intermittently called several times in a row when any preference is changed. Normally type boolean
This life cycle is called by changing the preference value on each call.
In most cases it works fine, in others it is called 2 times and in others 3 or four times in a row (less than 1 sec) and in other times infoChange is not called and in the next one it is called twice.
I think @TAustin had reported something issue, but I can’t find his post
This example I change a preference from true to false and generates 4 calls to infochange and changes from true to false and false to true and true to false.

I’ve seen this happening but it isn’t new, been seeing this for many months. I just handle it within the driver.
Slightly off topic: What’s more concerning is that the hub doesn’t always pick the custom edge drivers once they are installed and sometimes it can take a day or so before it recognizes them. I have a bunch of open tickets with ST about odd behaviors related to edge drivers.
Hi, @Mariano_Colmenarejo
Sorry for the delay. Yes, I’ve seen a similar report in the past but it happened with a specific configuration of a developer with many preferences in the profile
Could you share your profile where this issue is present so I can run some tests, please?
In the tests I made for the first case reported I also saw it wasn’t consistent but still documented it for the team, so now that there’s another case we can ask them to recheck it.
