Describe the content issue
There is an input data property called altersDynamicField but the meaning of this is not clear.

Does this field fetchs for the dynamic values when is changed or is this only as reference?

Great question! When your integration has dynamic fields (such as those populated based on an API call), they're only calculated on load by default. You can mark fields as altering dynamic fields, in which case fields will also be recalculated when that field changes.

In practice, this might be on a dropdown that lets you pick a spreadsheet from your account. When the spreadsheet changes, you want to recalculate the input fields.

Does that make sense?
