Currently, there is no officially supported way to force a formula to re-calculate.  Coupled with the fact that there are several scenarios that should result in formulas automatically re-calculating but do not, providing an officially supported way to force them to re-evaluate would help close this gap.

For example, let’s say Model A has a formula field that uses MODEL_LOOKUP to Model B.  When Model B changes, the formula field on Model A does not update.  Ideally this would occur automatically but by providing a way to force a re-calc, model events could be hooked on Model B to programmatically force Model A to re-evaluate formula fields.  This issue will become even more prevelant with the introduction of custom formulas.

The “Ask”:

1) Document skuid.model.Model.evaluateFormulaFields - This evaluates all formulas in all rows for a given model
2) Document skuid.model.Model.evaluateFormulaField - This evaluates a single formula field on a specified row
3) Add support for forcing evaluation of formulas on an entire row - This would evaluate all formula fields on a specified row

Thank you!
