Hi Debasish, Randy's update sounds fantastic! Absolutely fantastic because I suspect many of us have gone through exactly what you described here, despite running many other kinds of validations! In the meantime, the PDB gave me two options as a workaround. One was to either email them the updated coordinates that they would then match with your PDB ID or to simply restart a new session and upload the updated coordinates (the old session gets deleted at the server at some point). Just that you will have the joy of filling out the submission/validation form one more time with option 2.
