Description

Because data resources added as a path to an external data source (i.e. a file that is not uploaded to the FileStore) are subject to update, the content of the DataStore can go stale. If services are built off the DataStore API they will be using out-of-date data - as will be the previews.

Considering turning off default / automatic DataPusher additions for data resources added as a path to a data resource (e.g. externally hosted file) . Would still allow manual DataPusher additions.

Also considering developing mechanism to regularly monitor currency of external data resources to determine when DataStore update via DataPusher is required.
