Mod "description" metadata not refreshing on the web and in-game portal

Post by dupraz »

There is an evident discrepancy between the "description" metadata found in my mod game files, which is only properly displayed under the in-game mod menu:

As opposed to the mod portal (cached?) metadata which is still empty (reflecting an earlier version of that same mod):

Not exactly sure if I'm supposed to do anything (or just wait?), to trigger the refresh.

Only the initial description on the mod portal is taken from the info.json. Afterwards you can edit it here:
