Summary:
Changes to the content of text placeholders embedded in a table will not be reflected in the visible content of a document, or for that matter in e.g. a printed version of the document, until the table content has been clicked into as if to edit it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Unzip attached PlaceholderScripting.zip
2. Open TestPlaceholder document in Pages.
3. Open PlaceholderScript in Script Editor.
4. Run the script.


Expected Results:
The content of columns 2 and 3 of the table in document 1 should have been updated to contain values "6/13/15" and "Booyeah" respectively.


Actual Results:
The original placeholder values persist in the table.

To get the updated values to appear, double click into any cell of the table as if to edit it.

As a side note: now click outside the table and Cmd-Z undo to reverse the scripted changes. Again, the model data have been updated but the UI doesn't reflect it. Double click in a cell again to get the changes to register.
