Mac OS, Brave browser & Safari browser **Describe the bug:** - I have noticed this in few of my apps. When making a API call (action) that has a column value in the payload (user specific column in this case) the first time everything works fine. If I change the value inside the column, the app UI shows the new data, but sends the old data from the column. It takes maybe a minute or few for the payload to update. **Expected behavior:** - The data that is sent to the call API should be upto date with the UI. **How to replicate:** - Make an API call that has a user specific column value in the payload. - Then edit the column value - Right away do another api call - Check what payload was sent. ---

@Loqode this sounds like the same issue you were having. Did you ever get that sorted? ---

Never managed to get to the bottom of it unfortunately! Ended up using Webhook instead. **But**! A temporary solution I discovered was to simply display the body of the Call API request somewhere on screen (e.g. in a text component). When the JSON payload was displayed on screen, the data was up-to-date. When the payload wasn’t displayed on screen, it was sending data that appeared to be “1 update behind” what it should have been. So a somewhat _hacky_ way to resolve this would be to display the json payload (body of the request) on screen (e.g. at the bottom of the page) in a rich text component and set the colour of the text to the colour of the background so it’s technically still displaying on screen but remains somewhat invisible. And if it’s a large request you can reduce the font-size etc to reduce the space that the rich text component uses. ---

Or maybe use a span class but set the height to 0. As long as the content of that block is updated, I think it should work. ---
