It’s very time consuming to have to refresh the dataset when I change the schedule. Example: I was creating a new dataset, went to Explore, did the data refresh, went to configure while that was running and set a schedule, then, went back to the main Data Designer page to check something. While I was there, the dataset finished running. Needed to make a change to the schedule, went to update it, went back to the Explore, and was required to refresh the dataset to save a report. Had to wait for the dataset to refresh again before I could proceed. Would be nice if there was some sort of logic that looked at what was changed to decide if the dataset really needed a refresh. So, changes to the objects, fields, merges, etc. - refresh. Changes to the schedule - no refresh. If that’s not doable, maybe a prompt asking if I want to, and still allowing me to proceed with what I’m doing if I select No.

This also happens if I change the description of the Data Designer, or open anything in edit without making changes. Not very user friendly for building reports in Data Designer.
100% agree that having to refresh the DD even though nothing was changed with the datasets is frustrating. I recently experienced an issue where after refreshing, the screen auto-redirected to the DD homepage. When I clicked back into the DD I was working on, I was prompted again to refresh. This was a never ending loop that I ended up abandoning.
