Not merging i18n descriptions

[co-dax]

The tool does not update "description" info in target language .xlf files when "description" part in i18n attribute is updated.
I am referring to DESCRIPTION part in the code example from below.

<div i18n="DESCRIPTION@@translation_item_id"> Some source language text... </div>

I do have the following options in angular.json file:
"includeContext": true

Hi @co-dax, I think this is covered by a unit test - can you give details on your full config and how to reproduce?

Hi @daniel-sc, you are right that it is covered by the unite test you mentioned above and I confirm the notes are update in the case in template translations but they are not updated when they change in .ts files as descirbed at the following link https://angular.io/guide/i18n-common-prepare#i18n-metadata-for-translation.
I am using the pattern: let title = $localize":Some notes/descriptions go here@@translation_id:The actual source text to be translated";
...and if in the pattern from above I change the part Some notes/descriptions go here then that change is not reflected in the merged file.

Please let me know if I am not clear.

@co-dax I am slow again and still do not get your point.
The actual extraction of the i18n elements are done by the angular extract-i18n builder and should make no difference between ts and html.
Is it possible you re-used the "translation_id" at other places and did change the meaning only in one place? In this case, it is pure "luck" which meaning is picked by the extract-i18n builder..
