If you only do A: - style changes in the symbol are not updated for the Reference field => for example orientation of this field If you only do B: - field text is also not updated for all other fields than Reference Therefore you have to do A followed by B (or visa-versa) but you can not do the update in one step. I would suggest to add another checkbox to "not reset Reference field / not reset annotation) same problem with the update dialog:  # KiCad Version <!-- Copy version information (from main menu Help->About KiCad ->Copy Version Info) and paste it between the triple backticks below to preserve the formatting. --> ``` Application: KiCad Schematic Editor x64 on x64 Version: 8.0.0-rc2-543-g0775d1364a, release build Libraries: wxWidgets 3.2.4 FreeType 2.12.1 HarfBuzz 8.3.0 FontConfig 2.14.2 libcurl/8.5.0-DEV Schannel zlib/1.3 Platform: Windows 10 (build 19045), 64-bit edition, 64 bit, Little endian, wxMSW Build Info: Date: Feb 14 2024 06:18:21 wxWidgets: 3.2.4 (wchar_t,wx containers) Boost: 1.83.0 OCC: 7.7.1 Curl: 8.5.0-DEV ngspice: 42 Compiler: Visual C++ 1936 without C++ ABI Build settings: ```
