Refreshing dynamic columns

In the business workplace the refresh button in the workflow inbox is not refreshing the dynamic columns. How can we set it to refresh the dynamic columns?

Dynamic columns are fairly inefficient and hence the fact that BOR attributes are buffered is probably a good thing. This inefficiency is rarely a problem as most people don't have a large number of work items in their inbox. However, for those that do, dynamic columns can bring their business workplace to a pretty slow pace.

Most likely the reason that the data is not being refreshed is because of run time buffering in the Business Objects. I suggest you put a breakpoint in the relevant attributes and see whether the data is being reselected from the database when the user refreshes.
