Google sheets updates, but my label does not until the app is closed and reopened. I seen a few post about this topic from 2021 but have since been closed. Any updates? I have noticed the in app data source works properly and updates real time. ---

This seems to be a long-standing bug with the `get value` block not updating properly. See [Get value from Google Sheet not updating properly · Issue #1138 · thunkable/thunkable-issues · GitHub](https://github.com/thunkable/thunkable-issues/issues/1138) and [Is the Get Row Object block broken? · Issue #1173 · thunkable/thunkable-issues · GitHub](https://github.com/thunkable/thunkable-issues/issues/1173) You can try the `get row object` block or the `list of values` method that I mentioned in the second link’s topic and see if you have more success with that. ---

Its seems to be only google sheets. In app data sheet works and Firebase works. I have not tried airtable but old post show that working. The reason for using Google Sheets is important because its the only free cloud based data source. All others will require a fee to scale up. Is anyone working on a fix and is there a time-line? Thanks ---
