A cache problem

[samon127]

This is the task:

The first run was successful, and the result was not good enough, so I 1) Notes -> Find and Replace the "Example Sentence" field with .* -> empty, and 2) modified the prompt, after that, I rerun the task, then I got this immediately:

But actually it didn't rerun the 100 words for me, so I guess there is a cache problem maybe~

Hey @samon127, I suspect what's going on is that the Example Sentence field isn't empty. When it runs in batch mode it will only fill empty fields to avoid overwriting existing fields. You can also go to Advanced -> Regenerate all smart fields when batch processing and that will overwrite any fields, even if they are filled.

Let me know if this fixes it! This behavior should be more discoverable to users.

It works after I select "Advanced -> Regenerate all smart fields when batch processing"

Thank you so much :~
