Kafil,

What is the path of the widget.js/.html file that you are editing?

https://myservername.org/myapplicationname/widgets/ebind/widget.js

I am directly editing in the my application widget folder.

I added a input button and javascript function in widget.js and saved it. Now when i try to see the changes in my application hosted on IIS it is not taking the new changes unless i go n clear the cache.

i tried to add the below code in jimu.js/widgetmanager.js as per one of the thread https://community.esri.com/thread/158241

var myHostName = "maps.simcoe.ca"

var uid = Math.floor(Date.now() / 100000)

if (window.location.hostname.toLowerCase() != myHostName)
{
var d = new Date();
uid = d.getFullYear().toString() + "-" + (d.getMonth() + 1).toString() + "-" + d.getDate().toString()
}
this.preventCacheParameter = "?preventCache=" + uid;

Let me know what is the best solution or workaround i can implement to get rid of this issue.

Thanks In Advance.
