with() declarations refresh on any user action regardless of connection

marky
Hello:

I have noticed that anything declared in a with will get refreshed on any action the user takes on an interface, even if the with is unrelated to the action (such as a summary section at the top of the screen and a comments text box at the bottom, with no connection between the two).

Is this expected behavior for Appian?

It seems like with declared variables/rules/components should only refresh if one of the input variables changes.

If you see in the attached interface, changing the value in the textbox is refreshing the with variable, even though they are not related.

    That's a good description of the way things currently work, but I see lots of room for improvement: 1) with should not re-evaluate for unrelated things. 2) When an expression rule is called multiple times by apply, each instance of the expression rule should have its own unique load variables and not share load variables. 3) The entire interface should not being transmitted for small changes to the interface.
