Help, added a new field to database and now cant refresh the data source to see it

I used to do this on the "Edit Fields" section of a form (where you add and remove columns from a Form), but it looks like there are some updates and this option is no longer available.

 

If I go to the data sources area, there is an option to refresh the connection, but that isnt picking up the new field.  I've even removed the connection all together and then re-added it, but it still wont grab the new fields.

 

Is there something I am missing or somewhere else to do a full forced refresh?

    Ok, after about 30 minutes of messing with it, it finally showed up.

     

    I dont really know what the deal was, but the old way would refresh things instantly, nothing I would do was working on this until finally it just did.  Ugh...

    Ongoing issue with no responses https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Discussion/Powerapps-don-t-show-new-fields-from-Azure-SQL-Server-DBs/m-p/208012 wish someone would comment on this. Is it a new process to lessen load or just a bug?
