refresh button for sharepoint connections

When you add new columns to a sharepoint list, it is an absolute pain in the @$$ to get workflow cloud to pick up / recognize the new field set. It wants to hold on to the cached set. Which makes perfect sense from an efficiency standpoint - but it's AWFUL from a designer standpoint once you've made the change.


Can we please get a button to refresh the connection? That way the app knows it can keep the cached set OR to refresh it to pick up new fields.
