I have set up a material to a part in a subassembly, which is patterned in an higher level assembly. And it fails to update the appearance in this particular component part as shown.  I also tried removing all the materials, still the material didn't remove from that particular component part. I tried also changing the display state, but it also reverts back to the "all display state" option once I click okay. 

Note. This component part is patterned and all other identical components updates to the black colour. Except this particular one.
