When I change the query to add/remove columns, I also change the Type, then do a drop, then create, and get a success message. However, I then need to drop and create all dependent objects, including functions. If I don't, users will get an error. Refreshing the database in pgAdmin shows the type has indeed changed, but users will still get an error until I drop and create the affected object (function).

I'm sure I understand your issue. IIUC, this seems more an issue with
PostgreSQL than pgAdmin. If I'm wrong, can you supply a small test case?
