I created a few dataframes which I can successfully run but I can never restart them to update the results. Not by using the API or the (greyed out) start button. Am I missing something?

Anyone from the Elasticteam that can reproduce this issue?

You can stop then start you data frame

```
POST _data_frame/transforms/<data_frame_transform_id>/_stop
POST _data_frame/transforms/<data_frame_transform_id>/_start

```

Or you can update your data frame tranforms to use continuous mode by adding sync

```
"sync": {
    "time": {
      "field": "@processingDate",
      "delay": "60s"
    }
  }
```

Thanks! I know but calling the start doesn't result in actually a running data frame if it has already run.
