I think that the 'backwards compatibility' issue has been resurrected.

In the flow below, I have an existing v2.9.1 `simpletime` flow, and have then updated `simpletime` [to the 'tickboxes' branch](https://github.com/Paul-Reed/node-red-contrib-simpletime/tree/tickboxes), and restarted node-RED.  
You'll notice that the debug shows no data, yet the now updated node shows all of the options ticked.  
Even 'deselecting' and then 'selecting all' does not prompt a deploy request, or change the blank output msg.

Adding a fresh `simpletime` node from the sidebar, does however work as expected.
