• Grails doesn’t reload scaffolding on-the-fly if you change local templates. But you can open a Groovy console inside application and run in it:
  org.codehaus.groovy.grails.scaffolding.view.
    ScaffoldingViewResolver.scaffoldedViews.clear()
  
• In order to change default g:fieldValue formatting for, say, BigDecimal, have a CustomEditorRegistrar in your resources.groovy, and register custom PropertyEditor:
  registry.registerCustomEditor(BigDecimal.class, 'myProperty',
    new OurBigDecimalEditor(BigDecimal.class))
