Workflows execute but DB does not update

Over the last couple of days, I’ve been frustrated that some of my additions haven’t worked and been stumped about why, only to discover that the workflows etc. work but it’s not updating on the backend in the DB (even if you refresh the DB).

From time to time it stops working and I have to close the editor and open it again. Then all of a sudden, it’s there and displayed, meaning actions are taking place. My question is, what’s up?
