Changes stuck in Changes tab even after Commit.

0
Hi all, For testing purposes, I temporarily changed my system date to 15th November 2025 (three months ahead of the actual date). During that time, while working in Mendix Studio Pro 10.18.1, I committed some changes. After reverting my system date back to the correct date (4th August 2025), I noticed that even though I can commit changes, they remain stuck in the Changes pane. It appears that the commits are being accepted, but the same changes are shown as uncommitted, and they are not progressing properly through the version control process. I’ve tried the following steps, but the issue persists: Deleting the local app folder and re-downloading the project from the Team Server. Ensuring the system date is set correctly before launching Mendix. As shown in the commit history (screenshot attached), the commits made with the future date (15th Nov 2025) appear in the log. I suspect this may be causing the mismatch. My questions: Is there a way to correct or remove the future-dated commits in Mendix or Git to fix this inconsistency? Has anyone experienced a similar issue where commits show up in the history but changes still appear in the Changes pane? Is there a recommended Mendix-specific way to reset the working copy or align it with the remote repo after a date/time inconsistency? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

Yes, I’ve seen similar issues happen when the system date is changed to a future date. Since Mendix internally uses Git, those future-dated commits can mess with how the version history is interpreted. That’s why you’re seeing commits in the history, but the same changes are still showing in the Changes pane.

A couple of things you can try:

First, check what Git thinks about your current state. Open the project folder and run:

git status


If it still shows changes, then your local working copy is not properly aligned with the last commit.

If you’re okay discarding local changes, the easiest fix is to reset your local repo to match the Team Server:

git fetch
git reset --hard origin/main

(or origin/master, depending on your branch)

You can also try cleaning up any leftover files using:

git clean -fd


Try re-downloading once more properly:

  • Close Mendix
  • Delete the full project folder
  • Download fresh from Team Server

Future-dated commits stay in history and fixing them via Git is risky, so better avoid that and fix your local copy instead.

If it still doesn’t work, raise a Mendix support ticket.

Hope this helps


Thanks
