Unable to update js files - theme.js or other js files

[kluku]

I'm trying to add additional tags to a button that controls the quantity of products in the cart. Specifically, I want to include "aria-label="Decrease value"". I achieved this by editing the file theme.js located in template/assets/js/theme.js and copied the entire file to my child theme's directory (child-theme/template/assets/js/theme.js). However, the change didn't take effect even after clearing the cache from the Performance tab and ensuring I performed a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) and checked in an incognito window.

I've encountered a similar issue before when editing a JS file located in the library which was in a minified version, but I believe I handled everything correctly. Initially, I had the "CCC" function enabled in performance, but I disabled it later. I've tried various combinations, and I suspect I might be missing something or there could be some caching mechanism at play, maybe some form of bundling?

Here's the edited snippet:

<button class="'+s.buttondown_class+' bootstrap-touchspin-up" type="button" aria-label="Increase value"> <i class="'+s.verticalupclass+'"></i> <span class="sr-only">Increase value</span> </button> <button class="'+s.buttonup_class+' bootstrap-touchspin-down" type="button" aria-label="Decrease value"> <i class="'+s.verticaldownclass+'"></i><span class="sr-only">Decrease value</span> </button>

Does anyone have insights into what might be causing this issue or if there's something else I should check? Your help would be greatly appreciated!
