Record's commentCount not updating without reload

[Sticker_ninja]

I’d like to conditionally render an element depending on whether or not comments exist for a record. I’ve tried several methods but the element will not render/disappear unless I reload the app.

Here is one example:
{record.commentCount > 0 ? <div class="comment-indicator"></div> : ''}

This isn’t the case for rendering elements using getCellValueAsString() where I am able to render based on other record attributes.

Can anyone help me understand what’s happening here?
