Hi, everyone

I populate a Chained Select field with gform\_chainedselects\_import\_file filter where expiration time is set to 60 seconds. See filter below. CSV-file is updated via FTP.

Problem is that the selection list is not updating after 60 seconds, or whatever value I set for expiration.  
The form will update - after hours. Seems random.

I can force an update by changing ‘url’ from HTTPS: to HTTP: in the filter, so the filter is working - just not with the expiration timer.

Any ideas appreciated.  
Ketil

add\_filter( ‘gform\_chainedselects\_import\_file\_4\_10’, ‘set\_barn\_d2’, 10, 3 );  
function set\_barn\_d2( $import\_file, $form, $field ){  
$file\_array = array(  
‘url’ =\> ‘[http://testingtesting.no/wp-content/plugins/gravityformschainedselects/kmbarn2.csv](http://testingtesting.no/wp-content/plugins/gravityformschainedselects/kmbarn2.csv)’,  
‘expiration’ =\> 60  
);  
return $file\_array;  
}
