Thanks for clarifying @Paul_Danyliuk.
I set this up and it worked. There’s still a bit of delay before all is complete and the sync completes, but it’s working more reliably now.
This is a clever approach - thanks for taking me through it and teaching me many things along the way.
That said, will this delay be a permanent barrier or are there plans to make it more “instantaneous”?
I ask as in my use case, I’m asking a user of the doc for input data, storing that in a remote doc, and then I want to have the user see what they just input via the sync’d table. This is equivalent of a web app presenting a modal form, the user providing some information and clicking “save”, and that information showing up in a table of like information immediately so the user has a sense of their input being “saved”.
If there’s not a more instantaneous sync solution, I may have to remove the “table of like information” so that the user just submits information and it goes off into the ether, but they’re not waiting for it to show up like a traditional web app would (by instantaenously making a call to a backend that will pull the updated data from a database, for example).
Huge thanks again for this clever pro-hack.
