It sounds like what you're doing is this:
* Cloning and altering an item
* Deleting that item to clone another item
* Recloning the original item
The solution is really quite simple - after hitting Commit, save, then when you want to check that the changes took effect, close and reopen your saved file.
What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.
