Instant Data Event/Calculation Field "Refresh" for Every Record in an App

Kevin Beach

There needs to be a way to "refresh" and re-run all data events and calculation fields without having to go into each record individually and re-syncing. This is especially true when you have big apps, and data that you import is going to have an affect on these calculations.

This is super important. Manually opening each record to perform data events is unworkable as well for most datasets.

Adam Shand

This is important for us as well.  Having to manually open each record in order for calculated fields to update seems unworkable.
As an example we use Fulcrum to manage aspects of our seedling nursery.  We collect wild seed, sow the seed, grow, plant out etc.  Seeds are all of different size and weight so we have a field gives a ratio between expected seedlings and grams of seed.  Now one year we decide that we've got the ratio wrong and want to adjust it.  Now we potentially have hundreds or thousands of rows which need to be updated to use the new calculation.  
Until that happens there's no way to know which fields are using the old ratio and which ones are using the new one. :-(

Andy McKay

Yes, this is critical for us. Adding calculations once you have hundreds of records is essentially useless at the moment if they won't calculate without opening individual records.

Heath Howard

Even a python script or something similar would be great for this when needed, doesn’t have to be built into the UI.

Kristin Carrington

Yes! We have several clients that we change factors frequently and this means opening and closing every record (thousands?) for the calculation to execute.
