Data Manager not showing changes made to dataset as data catalog

Hello everyone, I'm new to qlick cloud. I have data from the Data Catalog and I've loaded it into an app, created visuals, etc. If I make a change to the data in the data catalog, I do not see the change replicated in my App. Is there some way to force the change to cascade downward? Specifically, I have a table that has a column added to it. The additional column shows correctly in the data catalog, but in my app, I only see the previously existing columns, not the new ones. However, if I make a new app I will see the new columns.

Interesting scenario. If you used the Data Manager then it creates the script for you in the background. You can go to the Data Load Editor and you will see a section entitled "Auto-generated section"

If you look in that section you will see that whatever item in your catalog that you chose has a load statement for it that loads the fields specifically by name which is why when you add fields they aren't loaded.

You can change that behavior by changing the code to LOAD * FROM ... Just like a Select * in SQL, the LOAD * says "get all of the fields that are available because I am on the leading edge and will likely be adding more." 

Heads up: By default that Auto Generated section is LOCKED. You will need to press the Unlock button in the upper right hand corner of the script editor.

From that point on everytime the application is loaded, you will load all fields that are in your catalog item.
