Update drop-down options in action button without refresh

I’m looking for a solution to a challenge with a field in an add record modal. I have it set to display as a drop-down and the options are mapped to a linked field in Airtable. The problem is that if that linked field updates, the drop-down options won’t include the updates until the page is refreshed.

This is a challenge in my case because in another list block on the same page a user may want to update that linked field. Then when the user scrolls down to add a new record they don’t see the option in the drop-down that they just added moments ago.

Softr Support answered this. The behavior I’m seeing is expected. The fix is to have some custom code to listen and refresh the page upon modal update or to have the list block with the drop down on a separate page so that when I navigate to it the drop-down is refreshed. That’s not ideal but I can work with it.
