Hello everyone,

I’ve been struggling with a problem and couldn’t find any solution for it. I have firebase function that I call by pressing a button in glide, this function does some calculation then using Glide Table API adds back multiple records to a certain table using an array of “mutation” to do batch adds in a single API call. the data gets inserted into gsheets immediately but it takes too long to appear in glide. I thought since I am adding the data using official Glide API this should refreshes glide tables but it is doesn’t. I tried walkarounds to force refresh by incrementing a certain value in that sheet but till not updating.

Note:  
I’ve also tried to not do it in batch call, and do an API call for each row to be added and still the same. I am on Pro plan and extra reads activated in settings

Thanks in advance🌷

Was that workaround triggered from an action in Glide?.. still too long?

Yes, I couldnt get it to refresh.  
But I figured out the problem is that the Glide designer it self is slow in updating in such scenario.When I published the app then updates started to appear immediately (without refreshing) so the problem is that I was testing in the Glide designer instead of a published app for this special case.
