Instant Data Event/Calculation Field "Refresh" for Every Record in an App

Kevin Beach

There needs to be a way to "refresh" and re-run all data events and calculation fields without having to go into each record individually and re-syncing. This is especially true when you have big apps, and data that you import is going to have an affect on these calculations.

Any update on this? It would be extremely helpful.

Annie Schwirtz: Hi Annie, Thank you for following up on this feature request. We appreciate your input and understand how this enhancement would enhance your experience with our platform. While it's definitely something we'd love to implement in the future, it's not part of our immediate roadmap. We will update this thread as we have a more concrete timeline. Your feedback is helpful to our planning, so thank you again for checking in.

I'm not sure about running data events -- which ones would fire, and what if they interact with the user? -- but I would really appreciate having a refresh of all the calculated fields in an app. It would save lots of time when adding calculated fields or editing their code.

Maybe this could be bolted onto the Importer? You could have an option for each record/repeatable being imported to 'Refresh all calculated field values?' (That would save me having to calculate these manually outside the app when importing, but would also allow someone to upload a CSV with a list of '_record_id's and just tell the Importer to do the refresh. I suppose, if this option were selected, that it would ignore any imported values in the CSV for those fields, if present.)

It would be useful whe i add or update a calculated field in an app with existing records...

Calculated Field Auto Update

Tony Padgett

Please setup system so that, without having to open and save record, calculated fields can:
* Auto and Manual update all records
* Auto and Manual update selected records.
* Auto and Manual update range of records
Maybe another type of calculated field can be created that will allow it to be configured to auto update at specific intervals, without having to open and save record.

This is definitely a dire need for my company, as we often launch apps in a "WIP" state due to the R&D nature of our work! Please let me know if there's an update on this!

I need ability when I update a certain field in a parent record in a large amount, for subsequently one to many calculated fields in child, grandchild, etc. records, to re-calculate by push of a button without having to open one by one.

Any update on this? It would be a huge time saver!

Johnny Harley

Bump, this would save so much time for us!

Ralph Hill

Yes, this is an important feature. Our workflow (and thus Fulcrum App) evolves over time and being able to keep all of the calculated field data consistent is critical.

Blake Caldwell

Bumping this - this would help streamline our workflow significantly
