Prevent read from DataSource on bind?

[Trent]

Is there a way to prevent the datasource from doing a read when I use the setDatasource Method? I have a case where I'm using the same datasource for multiple sheets, and each bind is causing a read.

Hi Trent,

In order to prevent the DataSource read action you will need to handle its requestStart event:

function(e) onRequestStart {
  e.preventDefault();
}

Here is a small sample implementing the above suggestion.
