When an NXT list is based on a static query, it takes a trip behind the curtain into database view to refresh the data -- or a subscription to QUEUE to have it refreshed periodically. It would save a lot of hassle to be able to just click on the name of the "Starting from" query at the top of the list to have it refreshed.
Looks like it won't be implemented - see explanation: RENXT-I-304 / New idea
Refresh Button on ALL List Types (and wherever else applicable/possible)
Another way around this would be to add more field and filter options when building lists in NXT view so we wouldn't have to use static lists as a starting point when what we really want is dynamic lists.
Same as RENXT-I-4912
Refresh static query when using it to create a list in Webview
Actually, you just need to duplicate the "Refresh" option in Action Lissts for Constituent lists.
