JSLink for CSR works for only one user

Question

Environment: Sharepoint 2013, using a Sharepoint list

Have a simple JSLink script located in ~site/Style Library/JSLink/ that applies coloring to a specific list field (RAG Status) depending on its value:

    (function () {
         var columnCtx = {};
         columnCtx.Templates = {};
         columnCtx.Templates.Fields = {
             "RAG_x0020_Status":
              {
                  "View": DisplayApprovalStatus
              }
          };
          SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(columnCtx);
    }) ();
    
    var green="<span style='color:#01DF3A'>Green</span>";
    
    function DisplayApprovalStatus(ctx) {
         var columnValue = ctx.CurrentItem.RAG_x0020_Status;
         var statusIndicator = "";
    
         if (columnValue == "(1) Green")
             statusIndicator = green;
    
         return statusIndicator;
    }

This script works when I load the site, but when others load it from within the same org, it doesn't render at all, instead leaving the same "(1) Green" rather than a green-colored "Green".

I have checked and several testers have the same permission levels for the sharepoint site as I do. Any ideas to get this working globally would be appreciated!

Looks like it's a JS Cache issue! so I suggest to do the following:

• Create a new JSLink file with a different name.
• Make sure that the newly created file is checked-in and published.
• Next time you would like to change this file, try to rename it with a unique file version identifier like "filenameVx" where x is the new version number to perform cache-busting manually that will tell the browser that a new version of the file is available, and the browser will read the new file and don't retrieve the old file from the cache.
