Right now if you link an entity to a dataflow in a different workspace, it does not auto-refresh like a linked entity in the same workspace. While this could be advantageous in some situation (for example linking to live data and using the linked dataflow to make "official" snapshots), it could also allow data to become stale.
It would be good to allow users to select if a dataflow should stay in sync across workspaces, as well as being able to break the auto-refresh on in-workspace links.

RE: Dataflow Linked Entities auto-refresh across workspaces
Completely agree with this. I would be beneficial if it is simply a setting in a dataflow whether or not you want it to be auto triggered if the upstream dataflow gets refreshed.
If it is just an option in the dataflow settings, you can decide for every case separately if you want it to be triggered or not, to be more flexible and match multiple scenarios.
