Default range of param.Range fails to update using self.param.<parameter>.default assignment about param

[jbednar]

Since you are instantiating the app object, if you want to see updates, shouldn't you be updating self.distance (the current value of distance), not self.param.distance.default (the default value of distance, that will be used in the next instantiation, not this one)?

Indeed, this should be:

    def update_range_default(self):
        self.distance = (3., 17.)

Will close for now. Happy to reopen if we're both confused about what you're trying to achieve.

Thank you @jbednar and @philippjfr for quick and to the point response with explanations! I occasionally am confused about when to use the param prefix when to update widgets, but your explanation helped, and the code I was working with now works well. Really appreciated :-)
