UI Builder: Contents of Repeater components don't refresh after data source is dynamically updated (filter)

Hi, First post and still relatively new to ServiceNow.

I'm building a page in UI Builder using some repeater components. The repeaters have a nested container which in turn have 3 Stylised Text Components pulling dynamic data using @item... from a dynamic data source bound to the repeater.

I have a dropdown I'm using to allow users to select 1 of 7 options which will affect the filter of the dynamic data I'm pulling in via a Lookup Records. The dropdown updates a client state string parameter on change. This client state parameter is referenced in the data source filter.

My problem is that when the user selects a different option in the dropdown the data in repeater components doesn't update (i.e. they aren't dynamical refreshed when the data source is updated) 

However, linking the same data source to a simple list shows that the dropdown is working when a new option is selected with the list data refreshing as expected. But data in the repeaters does not.

Is this a limitation of the repeater component? or am I doing something wrong?
