If i recall correctly, this has been broken since 26.1ish. When selecting any command block and updating the Hover Note text that displays above it, if text was already there beforehand—it will not update until the command block is replaced or if you reload the world.
I’ve had two of my friends try this in their own world to see if it was just a me problem, but all of the text doesn’t update correctly for them either. Incredibly frustrating for map makers like myself.
EDIT: [date]
Bedrock Edition is now in 26.21—meaning this has stayed broken since 26.1. I thought it’d come back and also add that this affects all renamed items in item frames. It’s the exact same principle, the named item will show correctly until it is removed, renamed, and replaced—it will still show the previous name it was given.
The information displayed in command blocks isn’t incorrect, as demonstrated in a “/say” command, the output will be the newly updated text, just not displayed above the command block through the Hover Note Text. When the blocks are updated in a way (e.g. replaced, cloned, etc.) the text does update correctly. Just not when you change it how it’s supposed to.
I’m bringing attention to the item frames more in this edit as this is much more prevalent in survival mode and casual play—unlike the (barely) niche mechanic of command block hover text.

same thing (the command blocks) happen to me, i thought it might be a world glitch, but i never knew it was a bug..
Please edit your report to change the Affected Version to the version shown on the Minecraft title screen
updated to add more information. still broken unfortunately as i assume this would probably be a simple fix and would save major headaches for creative mode makers.
