Dataflow linked table versus non-linked "feature"

[RandyPgh]

I am curious if this is a "by design" feature of dataflows and why. I have a dataflow that stages tables for other dataflows to use (see crude diagram below), so the dependent dataflows simply have links to the staged tables. In the dependent dataflows, if I set to True at least one of the "Enable Load" flags for linked tables, a refresh of the staging dataflows triggers a refresh of the dependent dataflows. If I set to False all "Enable Load" flags for all linked tables, the triggering does not happen even though the dependent dataflows are using the linked tables in their logic. Any thoughts as to whether this is by design, and if so, why?

Yes, it is by design.  Take a look at the referenced link below and hopefully it helps.
