We have to manually refresh it – using the Refresh Now<\/STRONG> feature on the external data sources<\/STRONG> tab – and even then it sometimes fails to update (the “last updated” field is incorrect, at the time of writing)
My question is: Is this the expected behaviour? Or is something wrong with our dataset?<\/STRONG><\/P>
