Declare expression does not update exposed column
We created a declare expression which updates and optimized property in our work items when the pyStatusWork of its child work items changes.
When the declare expression triggers, the correct value is always written in the clipboard, while it is not updated in the database.
The value is correctly written in the database only when the change of the child status is triggered by a button on the parent work item.
How can we solve this issue?

@MarcLasserre_GCS I tried using Declare Trigger rule, but it seems that the child property (pyStatusWork) is not committed yet when it triggers.
On pyStatusWork change we need to call a data page which count how many children are in each status to determine a custom property value on the parent case. The report executed by the data page extracts the old value of pyStatusWork even though I can see in the tracer that the child case has already changed status.
We also tried using a Declare On Change rule or adding ad Update Case smart shape in the child case flow where we change the status, but we got the same result.
Also already tried putting the property-set in a pre-processing action of the flow action following the assignment which change pyStatusWork.
