String Selector/Variable caching leading to function not re-computing

Hello Community,

I have a string selector with static options to choose a single value, and this selection variable is used in multiple other objects set variables for filtering, it is an input variable to a bunch of functions and also a URL parameter for a slate spreadsheet, but at times when I choose a region and open the overlay which has function backed derived columns or the slate spreadsheet, it loads data of the previous region, How could I fix this?

I have thought of two solution approaches,

  1. Using a variable transformation string variable which takes the string selector value and checks if it is valid else fallback to default value

  2. Making the functions accept a dynamic parameter such as an incremental variable or timestamp, which will help to trigger the function and not return cached results

Would like to know, if anyone else has faced the same issue and is it a common problem with string selector component and is there any other way I could fix this issue

Thanks in Advance
