I went into function and changed the text (between quotes). It did not recognize there was a change and did not save. I can reproduce the issue. To get it to save I just inserted a blank line between code.

Please tell us what version of Node-RED you are using. Also, what browser are you are using?

Lastly, a video or a step by step on how you make this happen would help.

Thanks

v3.1.0. I keep Node-RED up-to-date.

When I clicked done it did allow me to Deploy. I went back in and it was not changed. I tried again and it was a no go. I pressed enter to add a line and that worked.
