      Issue Summary

      Gadget name at the top of the box (marked with a red box in both images) matches the new External Gadget, but the actual configuration section (green box in the images) still reflects the original External Gadget.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Edit a Confluence page. (Doesn’t matter if it’s new or existing)
      2. Add an External Gadget to the page (I used “Heat Map” in production, “Sprint Health” in test/staging).
      3. Configure the gadget (doesn’t matter how, as long as its functional) --> The first screen shot in both environments was taken at this point

      1. Save the gadget, then save the page.
      2. Edit the same page again.
      3. Click on the gadget and select “Edit”.
      4. In the bottom left corner, click on “Select macro” (red box/arrow in the first image from both environments).
      5. From the list, select a different External Gadget (I used “Activity Stream” in production, and “Assigned to Me” in test/staging).
      6. When the configuration box comes up again (Screen shot #2 in both environments) notice that the gadget name at the top of the box (marked with a red box in both images) matches the new External Gadget, but the actual configuration section (green box in the images) still reflects the original External Gadget. In fact, you can edit it, and it will still be the “original” External Gadget configuration panel.

      1. Save the gadget. (Note that the name on the External Gadget is still the name of the original External Gadget – Image 3 from both environments)

      1. Save the page, and you’ll still see the original External Gadget.

      Expected Results

      The name of External gadget is displayed instead of the original gadget

      Actual Results

      Gadget name at the top of the box (marked with a red box in both images) matches the new External Gadget, but the actual configuration section (green box in the images) still reflects the original External Gadget.
