Hi,

I have a service that runs every night. The service executes an action that imports some data and then updates a property called “Last import” (date) with Date Now.

I would expect that this date only updates every time the service runs (once a day). This is what I see in development. But in production, the value updates every time a page loads. Why does this happen?

Hi Siri,

Do you have an action on “On View Load” that updates the value? If not, if you use the “Find References” on the specific property from the Data Model view, is the property updated any other place in the app?

Hear from you! 🙂

Hi!

No, the value is only updated in the service (“Hent Xledger data”).
