Issue/Introduction

Steps to recreate

1: Login to Clarity (Classic)

2: Create a Dynamic Lookup i.e. Administration > Data Administration > Lookups using below query

SELECT DISTINCT 

@SELECT:SRM.FULL_NAME:ROLE@,

@SELECT:SRM.ID:ID@

FROM SRM_RESOURCES SRM

WHERE

@WHERE:SECURITY:RESOURCE:SRM.ID@ AND

@FILTER@

AND SRM.IS_HIDDEN = 0

AND SRM.PERSON_TYPE=0

@BROWSE-ONLY: AND SRM.IS_ACTIVE=1:BROWSE-ONLY@

3: Save and Return

4: Navigate to Administration > Studio > Objects > Project

5: Create an attribute mapping to dynamic lookup created in step 2

6: Save and return

7: Navigate to MUX > Administration > Blueprints

8: Create a copy of Standard Project and Edit the same

9: Add the Canvas Module and publish the same 

10: Select a Project and associate the above created blueprint with it

11: Open the Project and Navigate to Canvas and configure the attribute created in step 5

12: Change the value of the lookup and page will not reflect the updated value

Expected results:
- Updated value in the field should be displayed without explicit page refresh

Actual results:
- Field show empty if previous value was empty and will not auto-refresh to show recently selected value by user
- After refresh of the screen the field displays correctly
