Hi, I have a project in which I have to get the value of the google sheet database (eg 4), and later change it to a new value (eg 4+1). But when I want to get the value from the database again, I get the old value (eg 4) and not the updated one. Do you know if there is a way to get the updated value without having to restart the application?

Thanks

This is an old issue. You can use `GetRowObject` instead to get the updated value.
