Blender Version
Broken: 2.79b f4dc9f9d68

Short description of error
Object color controlled by material node where normalized object position feeds into a color range which then controls a principled BSDF node.

Error: Material 3D view correctly displays and updates color when object is moved. Rendered view does not.

Partial fix: add a Value node as input to color ramp node. Then the material 3D view and rendered view show same color. However color is not longer controlled by position as intended.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Load attached blender file.rendercolorproblem.blend
Move object in Material 3D view in z-direction. Observe how color changes in materials view but not in rendered view.
Apply partial fix by replacing input to color ramp node to a Value input node with default value of 0.5. Observe how colors are the same in rendered view and material 3D view but independent of position.

Are these knownmax and knownmin Value Nodes custom Nodes?
(because when I open your file these are unconnected, have different values [compared to your screenshot] and I wouldnt know how to rename the sockets of a Value node like this...)

Anyways, when I reconnect them and put in the values you suggest, I everything seems to work as expected (both Material and Cycles rendered View change colors to Z position accordingly).

#55116.blend

Could you try above .blend and see if it works for you?

Marking as incomplete for the time being...
