Hi,

We're using dataflows a lot and a very common annoying thing is the following:

I'm making a change to a complex data flow that has many entities and click "Save & Close". It starts doing the schema recalculating etc. This can take up to several minutes. During this time i'm doing something else. But i have to remember that i have to go back to the page when the schema recalculation part is done and click "Refresh". Moreover, if i come too late, then the "Refresh" button has already disappeared, so i have to go to the workspace and manually refresh the dataflow so that it starts having data. if i don't do it, the dataflow is empty, which can lead to dataset refresh failures etc.

It would be awesome to have IN ADDITION to the current button "Save & Close" another button "Save, Close & Refresh". This way i could click it and forget about it.

Thanks in advance if it ever gets implemented.
