Ability to re-run scripts to update scripted attribute values

[jpalmeida]

"Create Nodes Scripted Attribute" is an extremely useful feature.

It would be even more useful with a very simple addition: The column created with a scripted attribute should have a "Refresh scripted values" option (just under "Modify column") that would re-evaluate the function. Currently to do that, one needs to delete the column and recreate the attribute by entering the script code again.

Yes I feel your pain.

In the current data model we don't know how an attribute/column has been created. We don't a place to store this link.

Yet we should be able to find a workaround by saving users scripts in the session.
With that + a solution to update an existing column rather than creating over we could have a way to solve your issue even though it would be a workaround.

Possible actions for quick win:

• store users scripts somewhere in session/local storage related Gephi Lite User preferences #182 Color palettes management #61
• propose to reuse a saved script
• propose an update by script or just rename create by create or update ?
