Hi i have a UI template node like this

```
[{"id":"a5c1aeec.acf41","type":"ui_template","z":"317f5671.321bea","group":"7390bf6e.e7d18","name":"alert","order":0,"width":"","height":"","format":"<meta http-equiv=\"cache-control\" content=\"no-cache\" />\n<meta http-equiv=\"Pragma\" content=\"no-cache\" />\n<meta http-equiv=\"Expires\" content=\"-1\" />\n\n<div></div>\n<script>\n\n(function(scope) {\n scope.$watch('msg', function(msg) {\n alert(msg.payload);\n return msg;\n });\n \n})(scope);\n \n</script>\n\n","storeOutMessages":false,"fwdInMessages":false,"templateScope":"local","x":930,"y":540,"wires":[[]]},{"id":"ea160087.f05fd","type":"inject","z":"317f5671.321bea","name":"","topic":"","payload":"hello","payloadType":"str","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"x":704,"y":539,"wires":[["a5c1aeec.acf41"]]},{"id":"7390bf6e.e7d18","type":"ui_group","z":"","name":"info","tab":"3b15c8d0.06c048","order":5,"disp":false,"width":"9","collapse":false},{"id":"3b15c8d0.06c048","type":"ui_tab","z":"","name":"config","icon":"settings","order":4}]

```

When i do page reload this is executing with previous value though no "msg.payload" passed to it.  
can anyone help me how to clear the cache or on reload this should not show any alert.

It means that anything sent from the the!plate is saved in the server, and if the page is refreshed it is resent to the dashboard, which not what this user wanted.
