Can't replace a stale dependency in a LV project with correct dependency​?

Question

I have a LV project which contains a VI called "Main_Panel.vi".  there is a typedef which it is depends on (let's call it typedefAversion1).  I had to move the file which defines typedefAversion1 to another location in the file system.  Let's call the moved typedef "typedefAversion2".
Everytime I open the project, it complains that it can't find typedefAversion1.  I tell it where to find typedefAversion2 and then it is happy - until the next time that I open the project.   Then it complains again.
I've tried locating typedefAversion1 in the "dependencies" tree in the LV project and right-clicking and selecting "replace with", then pointing it to typedefAversion2.  All that happens is that typedefAversion1 disappears from the project dependencies for an instant, then re-appears.  Why is it still in the dependency tree when I just told it to get replaced?
Note that I cannot simply update "Main_Panel.vi" by manually replacing the typedef in the VI with the new one - this typedef is found in hundreds of locations throughout my project, and in many VIs.
what is a quick and simple way to tell labview to stop looking for typedefVersion1 and instead look for trpedefVersion2?

Answer 1

Did you add the type def to the project?  Not just the dependencies.  But part of the actual project.  I would imagine that should cause a conflict if VIs are still looking for a type def of the same name in a different location.  You then just have to resolve the conflicts.  There is a nice little button in the project toolbar to do that.
