qgis - Is there an easier way to refresh a joined CSV?


I'm working with data that gets updated sporadically. Essentially, I have a CSV which defines which postal codes belong to certain sales reps, and these postal codes might shift around.


I made multiple layers that represent different role types, that way I can switch on the layer easily.


The problem is, that if something changes.. I have to recreate the CSV Layers all over again, and then rejoin the CSV to the Shapefile layer, and then reclassify the colorings for all the sales reps.


I wish I could just hit "refresh" on the source data! I notice in the properties it's still looking at the original file, why can't it simply reload it?


UPDATE: I've discovered that if I set the file to "Watch" it does actually update the CSV! However, the "Join" that I did on the Shapefile is out of date and it seems I need to delete it and manually rejoin it? That seems unnecessary. Any ideas?
