Toybox.Timer' not available to 'Data Field'

Hi, with the new System 7 release we are supposed to do web requests in Dat Fields without having to use a background process.

I tested to make a request and it works, however I need the datafield to continuously pull data every minute from my web server. Doesanyone have any idea how to do that when Timers are not allowed in Data Fields??

This is what I get in runtime:

Error: Permission Required Details: Module 'Toybox.Timer' not available to 'Data Field'

Thank you in advance

In another thread I mentioned counting the calls to compute and making the request once every 60th time. You could also use elapsedTime and doing the request if a minute has passed since the last makeWebRequest.
