Please provide any additional information below.
This is apparently due to the change not taking effect until a server restart due to lack of state tracking for the various threads. I can understand this but it's a source of considerable consternation to the person editing the field.
I would suggest either having the edit prompt the editor that a server restart will be required as a short term fix.
Ideally the edit would take effect without a restart but I understand that might take a while to work out the details.
