fix: refresh data app dashboard tiles with the dashboard refresh button#23430
Merged
Conversation
The dashboard refresh button re-ran chart queries but left embedded data app tiles untouched. Data apps run their queries inside the sandboxed iframe via the postMessage bridge, so they can't piggyback on the React Query invalidation that refreshes charts. Two pieces, both driven by clearCacheAndFetch: - Add a monotonic refreshCounter to the tile-status context, baked into the iframe URL as &r= to force a reload so mount-time queries re-fire. - Forward invalidateCache through AppIframePreview to useAppSdkBridge, which stamps it onto every metric-query POST — the same flag chart tiles send on refresh — so the app's queries bypass the warehouse cache.
