Dataconnector does not trigger updates on data source

Hi!

We are updating a sensors current readings when the sensor emits a signal. The sensor object is updated using a data connector.

In the application we have “Initially Subscribe to Updates” turned on, but the sensor objects are not updated unless I refresh the page. Is this intended?

Hi!

This is intended behaviour - data connectors are intended primarily for high-performant data management on large amounts of data. Opening this up to live update functionality is considerably “expensive” and it is therefore not a part of existing data connector functionality. This may change some day as the platform evolves.

I see the docs were missing an explanation about this in the Data Connectors article, so I will get this added in too.
