After installation of desktop sysmbols these properties can in the dialog while changes but they will not appear at repeated call (old state before the change). In the *.desktop file in $USER/.local/share/applications/ directory dard changes but stored. So that means the *.desktop files will not be refreshed.

Editing a .desktop file through "Properties" works just fine for me in both the widget and on the desktop. Please reopen with additional information.
Hi Eike, I have attached a few screenshots for detailed analysis. First, I have a new icon for the calculator on desktop kcalc applied (Screenshot_01.png). Then called the Properties dialog from the just created desktop icon (Screenshot_02.png). With another screenshot (Screenshot_03.png) I will show you config Kcalc.desktop it. Now I lead changes in the properties dialog by as shown in the next screenshot (Screenshot_04.png). The description field ("Ein Rechner") and the comment field ("Test") I have added amendments. Then press the OK button to save. Now again the Properties dialog or opened with the editor Kcalc.desktop (see File Screenshot_05.png and Screenshot_06.png). You see that here no amendments were adopted. Also, the time stamp of Kcalc.desktop file has not changed. What is wrong?

Seems to happen when the location is not desktop:/. Some sort of bug in KIO/KPropertiesDialog; reassigning.
Reopening.
They are more information on reported errors? If the error is already corrected possibly in a KDE version?
Still an issue in KDE Frameworks 5.45.
