Resolution

DE79181

After careful consideration, Engineering has decided that this defect will not be fixed due to the complexity. We have to choose either auto-refresh to work for handling dependent and calculated attributes or being able to swiftly edit text fields without data loss.  Both of them cannot work simultaneously.
