TGNG (Table Grid Next Generation) REST data source never updates Edited

[Adrienne Bolger]

I am reporting an issue with this plugin: 

Table Grid Next Generation

I have set it up to connect to a custom REST API with a query that uses JIRA {issue.key} field to grab the matching custom data from my company's data store and it works great... on initial table import/setup.  But it never works again: it does not reload, or reflect any changes that appear in my company's database. 

Basically it looks like the import is only happening if there is not yet a grid associated with an issue. 

First I tried the "Data Mirror" settings on the plugin are not available for a REST Data Source, seems those are only available for "Database" data sources, as my REST API data source is not available in the dropdown menu on that tab. 

Second I tried the instructions for setting query refresh configuration on the old plugin via a JSON config file as instructed by the . The settings for the old plugin do not seem to work on the new plugin, at least not if a REST Data Source is configured.

This really, really seems like it should just work. For example, the documentation for TGNG has a version release note for the latest version saying: " 

• TGNG-891 Connection to data source is refreshed each minute if unsuccessful

Ok, but what if the connection to the datasource IS successful?  I still want it refreshed at least when an issue is loaded onto the page or manually available via a "sync" button or settable via the configuration interface? Something?
