I've built out a Invoice reimbursement form in modern Forms Designer (aka no javascript) which has a number of SQL Server 2016 database lookups that need to be refreshed every time a form is opened. Our approval process has one form being passed around between multiple user tasks. All of this worked splendidly at 11.0.2108.10347 using a single line field with a field rule that was hidden always and ignore data when hidden selected, and then using Calculation to calculate the value of the hidden field into another field of my choice. We upgraded our test environment to 11.0.2201.20436 and none of the fields are refreshing on form load, and everything is one submit and done despite the field rules. I built a fresh form to test a number of variations including toggling read only and changing field rules without any success.
I'm pretty new to forms development, so I'm not sure if I constructed my initial form using a methodology that wasn't intended or if this is some sort of bug. I hoping there's some some helpful advice or best practice for variables that need a consistent database refresh on form open using the modern Forms Designer in this version.
