SetValue from Jira doesn't update in table view unless you click edit and touch each individual row

[Nat Grauman]

Hey all, I have a Tableview with a column called EPICID.  It's a read-only field.
In my Confiform definition I have a Confiform Rules For Field Definition macro where Action To Execute = SetValue and Values To Set as EPICID=[entry.JiraID.fields.customfield_38403]

In my tableview, this value will not populate unless I click the edit button and "touch" the record on each individual row by making some change in one of the editable Confiform fields, which seems to refresh the whole record. Then, after I save and reload the Tableview page, EPICID for that one record populates.  I've seen this happen with other fields pulled from Jira, but only when the Jira field is changed/updated. That is, initially the Confiform populates, but it doesn't stay updated unless you do the "edit, touch the record, and save" trick.  

Why is my EPICID field not initially populating from Jira unless I do this trick record by record?  

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

It is not populated, because you have form view rules that only gets triggered when the record is in the edit/create mode

However, you should be able to access the Jira field value directly at any time. There is really no need to copy it over to ConfiForms... As this also creates a possibility with obsolete (out of sync) data
