Mutate change disappears after navigating back to page

[leighst]

Hi there,

I have an issue where

• I update a record - a field within a record. The update displays fine as long as im on the page.
• I navigate to another page on site by clicking a router link
• I return to the page with back or a backlink
• Sometimes, the update has disappeared - maybe 50% of the time
• Also, revalidateOnMount doesnt seem to work reliably - i had to add a useEffect hook to force it to run on mount

When i subscribe to cache changes, I can see that at some point after navigating back, the update simply disappears.

I have done the following to troubleshoot

• monitor cache changes and print record for each one
• lots of logging to make sure any possible mutate or revalidate locations arent at issue
• when the field is reverted, there are no db fetches happening, no evidence at all of some external event causing this

Any idea if this is a known issue? Am i doing something obviously wrong?

Thanks!
