[BUG] Sometimes I need to refresh the page to reveal the changes to a character sheet from the API

Edited 1387766758
My script was operating fine and it was behaving as expected but the values in the attributes were not changing on the relevant character sheet. I decided to refresh the screen... it corrected the issue and synchronised the character sheet. I have since noticed this issue a great deal. It happens on a very consistent basis. Could the Dev's please look into this issue? I have spent hours trying to figure out why my script was not updating the character sheets only to find that I only needed to refresh the screen. There was no warning that my connection with roll20 was broken (the message in red) and this problem has been occurring over a number of days so it is not an isolated incident and I don't believe it is a connection issue. This is happening on the main server.

Moved to the API forum, put the bug tag on it, and filed with Devs. :)
Thanks Gauss. Okay.. so API bugs go into the API forum & general bugs go in the other forum. Cheers.
I think if I'm understanding correctly you probably don't need to reload the whole game, just close and re-open the character sheet. If that's not what's happening, let me know. Currently regardless of whether the API modifies a value or another player does, the Character Sheet will not update while it is open by you.
Thank you for clarifying Riley. I do see the character sheet change while I have it open when I update attributes with the API... Am I not supposed to see this?

In general, we are trying to keep API things in the API forum, including bugs. It is a unique element of Roll20
