Cashing issue with button link after updating field value

When I update the field Contract (value: 10001) for the first time on my form, the button link will take me to the correct Contract in ViewContract. If I change the field Contract to value: 10002 and save, the link will continue to take me to the ViewContract form for the first value (10001). If I sign out, clear my browser cache, and then sign back in, the link will take me to the new ViewContract form value (10002).

Is there additional code I can add to force the "link is" to use the new value?

paragraph

Contract

show up to 4 characters

visible when (Contract entered)

Contract.Name

display as text

Contract.Status

button of "<Contract>"

link is Contract.ViewContract

label is "Contract"

display as link

I'm not sure I'm following the issue exactly. Isn't the contract key value on the Contract? Is there a particular reason you would be changing it on the Contract, or are you adjusting the Contract value on an action form and want to be able to adjust that Contract action parameter and check the Contract with the button on the form before submitting the action?

If it's the latter you might be able to user the "depends on" or "when value changed" form field options. My syntax below might be a bit off, and you still might run into some issues, but maybe worth giving a try.

//-- Depends
    Contract
        show up to 4 characters

    visible when (Contract entered)
        button of ""
            depends on Contract
                derived value is Contract
            link is Contract.ViewContract
            label is "Contract"
            display as link

//-- When Value Changed
    Contract
        when value changed
            refresh Contract
        show up to 4 characters

    visible when (Contract entered)
        button of ""
            link is Contract.ViewContract
            label is "Contract

Thank you for the reply Andy! I tried the When Value Changed and still no luck. For Depends on, the editor says depends on doesn't work in the context you showed, but I was able to add it in the same place as When Value Changed and that complied, but didn't work either.

I also tried using "disable link cache" on the relation as well as "clear in-memory cache" on the entrance and exit rules for my Create and Update actions in the UBC with no luck.

To give a little more context, this is a User Business Class that we're using to track some additional milestones between Req and Contract, so I have a relation between the UBC and Contract to allow users to connect to the Contract they want to track. It's that Contract field on my custom BC they can update to and they wanted a clickable link directly to the ViewContract without then needing to go to Manage Contracts and search for the Contract
