I have an issue where one of my forms is dependent on data from a table and it seems to be cached. My problem would simply go away if I could force an automatic sync "BEFORE" a form opened. I think I read every post with LINKTOVIEW and the parameters to force a sync after save. But that won't solve my issue. Anyone have any thoughts how to force a sync prior to opening a Form for data entry?
Thanks,
Daren

What makes you think that?
Because I have updated the data in question on the back end with a trigger on a mysql cloud database.
Yep, that'd add complexity.
The best you can do is try to replace the system Add action with one of your own, but that's not a a trivial or clean option.
That's what I tried to do on the LINKTOVIEW before I came here looking for help. I tried to build in a forced sync before the form opened, but had no luck. My current workaround is to tell the user to refresh before adding a record in this particular case. I wonder if the Appsheet architects ever considered adding a real-time data switch for Non-Sheets applications? Zero caching at any level. Probably would kill performance, but would be interesting.
