Idea: Updating attributes that were added after the table was created

Hey Everyone, 

I ran into something when I appended attributes to an existing table using the “Add” field. The table was created using a script that runs weekly and appends current data to the table. Unfortunately, the attributes I added directly via the table are not updated. This means that the newly appended rows have no data in my attributes. Wouldn't it be a great idea to have the option of updating the subsequently added attributes? This means that the calculation of the field would have to be saved in the background (which would be good anyway if you could open the calculation of the attribute again afterwards) and executed again for the newly added rows. This could be solved by setting a small checkbox: “Should the calculation be updated as well in the case of a task run of a script?” Then you can decide for yourself whether this is desired or not!
