Research direction

No repository files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by determining whether Azure App Service platform behavior is in scope for this repository, then define how AppConfig references should refresh within 24 hours without an application restart and how that behavior would be verified.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Azure App Services Azure Functions enhancement

Enable automatic refresh of AppConfig references in AppService. Currently, the only way to see updates to referenced values is by restarting App Service application. Like KeyVault references, AppService platform could offer 24 hour auto-refresh for AppConfig references too, ensuring that changes are reflected without requiring a restart.

Based on customer feedback:

@zhenlan Bouncing Yes, automatically restarting - even ~24hrs after changing config - would be useful when changing non-essential config, like log level or APM config.
