Dashboard tracker EpiNumericFields will not deploy correctly

Has anyone had issues with Dashboard Deployment/Preview not correlating with what Customize Tracker View has Saved?

I’ve been creating a custom Tracker with a bunch of fields. Each time I add something, I save the Tracker View, check the Preview under deployment, and if everything looks good, I save the Dashboard. I’ve been rinsing and repeating this all day, and was about 3/4 of the way through when all of a sudden every control I create Previews as if it were a white input field (we’re using classic shell), even though it looks correct on the dashboard itself and the Properties show that it’s a tracker query control. I’ve tried everything I can think of, including re-importing an earlier save, and it still does the same thing. I did try deploying it just in case it was some quirk of the Preview function, and it’s not. The new fields are not behaving correctly. Anyone experience this before?

If anyone from the future happens across this post, I did find an answer in this forum, somewhere.

The better practice is to just create the tracker, deploy the dashboard, and then create a Customization.
A, it’s just more stable than Customize Tracker View.
B, it allows for version control whereas Customize Tracker View does not.
