Description
I can't edit PC files. Well, I can edit them, but the edits don't appear.
I see the changes in the "Edit Combatant" window -- I save the changes, but they don't show up in the target window.
I even tried deleting the party file and then recreating it and saving it with a different name and still the old version of the stat block appears in the target window (and the new, edited version still appears correct in the "Edit Combatant" window)

This is a known issue. There is a cached version of the information once the combatants are loaded. The changes are not reflected when you save the data. This need to be improved, for sure exiting and reloading will work. I'm not sure clearing the character will work.
Fixing this can be tricky, the easy fix is to make sure clearing the combatants empties the cache. This means you have to reload the character. I believe this can be done without too much fuss. To have things reflect completely requires a lot of changes to the compendium logic.
I think we should focus on the first fix, then move to a more complete fix in a future enhancement request.
