I bump this topic because the the answer of Eric is not working for me when the widget is placed in a page layout. Anyone have a trick for refreshing a dataview (with Mf datasource) placed in a layout?
I tried above and combinations of refreshclass java actions but didn't work out..

from a microflow you call refresh System.User (took that object because every model has an user :) )
I think you can refresh the snippet dataview by refreshing its context entity. If that's the exact same entity as on the page, a simple refresh should already do it.
If it's not the exact same entity, this might work:
