I’m writing to ask about an issue we’ve been experiencing with lookup and formula fields not updating reliably in our app. We’re using Noloco Tables as our data source. The issue: lookup fields and formula fields that reference lookups often do not recalculate when a new record is created or an existing record is updated via an action or integration. The fields only update after we manually re-open and save the affected record. This is causing data integrity issues for us, as we rely on these computed fields for case management workflows. A few specifics: - It affects both lookup fields and formulas that reference lookup values - The data in the source/related table is correct — it’s the computed field that isn’t refreshing Is this a broader platform issue? Interested in understanding: 1. Whether this is a known bug with a fix in progress 2. Any reliable workaround in the meantime 3. Whether there’s a way to force recalculation programmatically ---

We’ve had the same issue. But after they published a fix, I think it was last week, then we haven’t experienced it on new records.
