Can you provide the exact steps that you have used? I try duplicate it on my side but failed.

Changing output format to other languages significantly modifies top module interface.
It is hard to accept this workaround, as it brings heavy testbench rework.

Any concern if you use the clean project? Currently, Quartus std are in the lower priority on the fixes.

I have to do "modify - compile - core dump - clean project - compile - simulation" cycle instead of "modify - compile - simulation".
Is there any option to clean project automatically before compile?

You can write a tcl scripts for it if you want to have the compiles goes with clean project.

let me know if you have trouble to write the tcl scripts?

I'm learning TCL scripts / commands.
One question: can I add my custom TCL scripts to menu bar and/or toolbar, so that I can click the menu/icon to execute my script?

usually, for this type of script is no. But you can run it in the command prompt and it only take one click.
However, you can always explore yourself. If you successfully created this scripts, all you need to do is goto tools -> tcl script
we created a scripts for you, please note that you may have to create it next time. You can run it with:
cd to quartus install directory where the quartus_sh exist:
quartus_sh -t compile.tcl
