Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
  1. User A has a view open
  2. User B updates a row
  3. User A doesn't see the change until a refresh
Describe the solution you'd like

It should constantly check for updated fields and update the view.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Full collaborative editing like in text editor, but I don't think it's necessary for tables.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how the open table view loads and refreshes rows, then determine how it can detect changes made by another user. Done means User A sees User B's row updates without manually refreshing, while avoiding full collaborative text editing.
