Immediate Attribute Update for Generated IDs in Sweet for ArcGIS Without Refresh

When adding or splitting a polygon in Sweet for ArcGIS, I want a unique ID to be generated automatically in the background.
This is done using an Attribute rule that uses a sequence table. The trigger logic works correctly: a new unique ID is generated and stored.

However, the behavior is currently the following:

  • The Arcade trigger runs successfully on add or split

  • The unique ID is created, but

  • The ID does not immediately appear in the feature’s attributes

  • The attribute value only becomes visible after a manual refresh

    I’ve also verified that when ‘Wait for server triggered changes’ is checked in the Data Processing settings of Sweet, nothing changes: the ID still only appears after a manual refresh.

    Question:
    Is there a way in Sweet for ArcGIS to apply the generated ID immediately to the feature attributes, without requiring a refresh, and without having to loop through all records (which is too slow)?

    Why this matters:

    • Editors expect the ID to be available instantly after create or split

    • Manual refresh breaks the editing flow

      Looking for:

      • A way to force an immediate attribute update

      • Or confirmation whether this is a technical limitation of the current editing workflow

        This is my Attribute rule:

        return "VLA" + Text(NextSequenceValue("seq_bedrijventerreinperceel"), "000000");
         

        Any insights into whether this can be handled client-side, via configuration, or via a different trigger approach, without iterating over all existing records, would be greatly appreciated.
