Currently auto-refresh refreshes the whole subject it was turned on for. In my case I only use the auto-refresh option to show the user the active/up-to-date status of a row. Luckily it's not a very long list or anything so the refresh is very quick.
It would be preferred, also performance-wise, to have a sort of partial auto-refresh where only a single column or multiple columns get refreshed.
What do you think of the idea?
