VisualUpdateType for Format panel changes

As far as I can tell, a change to data fields and a change to a format property both trigger a `VisualUpdateType.Data` update. Is there a way to distinguish updates where data in the fields, or the fields themselves, have been changed from updates where only a format property has changed?

Hi @Anonymous,

No - you would need to manually diff either the data and/or properties from one update to the next in the current SDK/API, by storing these as class properties so they persist between updates.

If you want separate types for props vs. data then this would be a feature request.

Regards,

Daniel
