Hello @Fabio_Leanzi  
Daren is correct, the update is performed only if you change a value associated with the YC.  
There is a little trick to refresh the YC column automatically. Add a param (even if it is not used in your routine) with the field “the date-time at from submission”. Your YC will therefore update every 10 seconds.

In fact, I’m using just this trick to play a slideshow with automatic and manual forward and reverse. It works well and I would like to propose this function to a client of mine who needs it, however I am held back because I do not consider this function reliable, because: 1) I’m not sure if the update will be every 10 seconds even in the future; 2) I don’t know if the YC column will have life in the future. Both of the above points can change depending on the strategies of the Glide team, (rightly so); unfortunately we do not yet have certain information and this puts me in difficulty. So I’m thinking of alternative solutions to simulate a seconds based ‘clock’ within the APP, but currently I can’t find any. Do you have any suggestions around this theme @Manu.n?
