Forcing an Update throws an error

[waterwingz]

I'm following these these instructions : https://github.com/netalertx/NetAlertX/tree/main/front/plugins/_publisher_mqtt#forcing-an-update in an attempt to trigger MQTT discovery messages to be sent to Home Assistant

I get an error message when I try to Purge MQTT Plugin_Objects by selecting MQTT Publisher and click the Delete all (filters are ignored) button.

The error says "Error: Validation Error: Input should be a valid list" and HA doesn't seem to get any discovery message.

What do I do now? Thank is advance.

[ Edit to add : I'm trying this because I do not see /config entries being sent from NetAlertX to the MQTT broker to trigger Discovery in Home Assistant]
[Further Edit : newly discovered devices do add a homeassistant/device_traker/mac_XX_XX_XX_XX/config topic so that's working. Just getting a full scan the refresh seems to be difficult]

[Note : I've recently moved NetAlertX from HA to a Proxmox LXC container. ]

thanks - noticed that after i posted a bug report

In the meantime, is there any other way (console?) to delete the mqtt objects so that it's forced to rescan and update discovery topics? It would be nice to have a MQTT reset button available on the Maintenance | Tools screen?

tested and found to be fix in current dev version
