I have a nested content property that i am trying to modify programmatically. Following is my code:

var nestedStr = linkedContent.GetValue<string>("linkedElements");
var nestedResult = nestedStr == null ? new List<RootObject>() : JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<RootObject>>(nestedStr);
var obj = new RootObject()
{
     name = node.Name,
     ncContentTypeAlias = link.ncContentTypeAlias,
     relationType = type,
     linkedElement = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(lst),
     statement = link.GetPropertyValue<string>("statement")
 };
 nestedResult.Add(obj);
 nestedStr = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(nestedResult);
 if (isNew)
 {
     linkedContent.SetValue("linkedElements", nestedStr);
     sender.SaveAndPublishWithStatus(linkedContent);
 } 

This is all working fine but when i save the linkedContent it's not reflecting on the website. I have to go to the backend and "Save and Publish" it manually then everything works fine.

Maybe it's because i am creating my own objects and in process missing a lot of inherited properties while updating the nested content property. Please can someone point me to the right direction?
