Shader Graph not updating time related nodes in preview

Question

Hey! Been fiddling around with shader graph for a bit and its a blast, but I can't figure out how to make the preview update when time is involved. If I click play everything is great, but I can't see the shader animate in the preview part of the shader graph.

Yes, i think this is HDRP problem. There is one thing you can do, that is click on the icon button on the scene view and tick "Animated Material". If your animated material works correctly, you should still be able to see the effect which should have been instead in "Main Preview" in Shader tab. This is just a wok-around that I find useful.

This worked for me! I accidentally closed the scene-view, re-added it. The "animated materials" was unchecked then!

I have the same issue. This seems to be related to the HD Renderer Pipeline. I tried swapping to the Lightweight one, and it works again. Hope this gets fixed.

I have exactly the same issue with 2019.4 LTS and the actual 2020.1

EDIT: Uh ... ok, it worked by enabling Animated Material on the "Toggle skybox, fog and various other effects" icon in scene view.

For me it was fixed by ticking the 'Always Refresh' checkbox under the icon for "Toggle skybox, fog, and various other effects." The icon looks like two stacked planes with a star in the upper right hand side.
