Enterprise Architect script not updating diagram

Question

I have a JScript in Enterprise Architect which should hide some connector labels by setting the "HDN" attribute of the geometry property of the DiagramLinks to 1 according to https://stackoverflow.com/a/28810123:

// Get a reference to the current diagram
var currentDiagram as EA.Diagram;
currentDiagram = Repository.GetCurrentDiagram();

if (currentDiagram != null)
{
    for (var i = 0; i < currentDiagram.DiagramLinks.Count; i++)
    {
        var currentDiagramLink as EA.DiagramLink;
        currentDiagramLink = currentDiagram.DiagramLinks.GetAt(i);

        currentDiagramLink.Geometry = currentDiagramLink.Geometry
            .replace(/HDN=0/g, "HDN=1")
            .replace(/LLT=;/, "LLT=HDN=1;")
            .replace(/LRT=;/, "LRT=HDN=1;");
        if (!currentDiagramLink.Update())
        {
            Session.Output(currentDiagramLink.GetLastError());
        }
    }
}

However, the diagram is not updated (the view does not change). Am I missing something?

When executing the script a second time, I can see in the debugger, that the new Geometry values are still there, but they don't seem to get applied.

Diagrams do not get updated on any element change (well, usually and in most cases; this is EA). You need to reload changed diagrams with

Repository.ReloadDiagram (currentDiagram.DiagramID);
