My Data source is a Google sheet. When my application ALREADY runs and a cell value changes in the sheet, even though I call a Block with “Get value from…”, I get the “old” value, not the updated one.  
It is as if the application caches the data from the sheet and I have to relaunch the application to get the updated value.  
Is there a way to get a live sync from Google sheet to the app?  
TY

This is a bug that has already been reported and the development team are working on a fix.

I’m having the same bug-- Thunkable is using a cached version of Google sheet data, so not giving me the updated data after sheet is modified.

– app changes data in sheet  
– then call get to get that data from the sheet (when re-open a screen)  
– it shows “old” data, even though sheet is changed.  
– If I close and reopen, updated data then appears

@muneer, thanks for pointing this out, can you refer me to link in github-- I couldn’t find it

Still not working? No solution already? I think this bug must be important enough to the developers team because makes apps developed in Thunkable not profesional. It is unnormal to must reopen the app each time a modification is done.
