So I'm using an interface with multiple tabs co-depending on one another, but when i make changes in one, in order to see the changes I need to refresh my browser, is there any way possible to update those variables without refreshing the browser? for instance i have a local variable that receives data from a CDT and in another tab I delete a row from my CDT but if I don't refresh the page, that row is still displaying. Any help?

    Yes, there are few other options too. All these configurations are listed on the documentation page I shared earlier.

    You can use refereshInterval property of a!refreshVariable(). This will refresh its value automatically after the specified interval. However it comes with some performance considerations. Refer to documentation below -

    isn't there any other solution than update by time? for instance update on a button click?
