Saving Dataset without refreshing

Has there been anyway to save changes to a dataset without refreshing? I’ve a large dataset that takes a few hours to refresh, and it’s hard to make changes to it.

Hi @leungjoot

When editing a SPICE dataset, saving and publishing the changes always triggers a full refresh to sync with the source data and apply updates. This is a known behavior for large datasets even minor changes like field renames can take hours.

As a workaround, you can use the API’s CancelIngestion operation, start the edit induced refresh, retrieve the IngestionId via ListIngestions, then call CancelIngestion to stop it (note: this fails the process rather than skipping the refresh, you won’t see any data in analysis and dashboard).
