time in a status

I currently have a trigger that accumulates time spent in each of our status/substatus combos.  The time accumulates when the status/substatus is changed to the next status/substatus, but until that is changed, the time spent isn't actually current.  Is there a way to update this trigger so that when I say refresh the browser it will update the time for the current status/substatus instead of waiting till the status/substatus changes?

Here's a snippet of the code
trigger CaseStatusChangeTrigger on Case (before insert, before update) {
    DateTime currentTime = DateTime.now();

    for (Case c: trigger.new) {
        try { // Catch any exceptions that occur on a particular Case, for display to the user
            if (c.Current_Status_Start_Time__c == null) {
                // The ticket isn't already tracking time.
                // This either means it's new (trigger.isInsert case below),
                // or that it's a legacy ticket that existed before this trigger rolled out.
                // In either case, the time tracking fields need to be initialized;
                // set them all to decimal zero values.

Hi Staci,

As the triggers run only when  an update or delete or insert is done to a record I don't think this would be possible with a record but you can certainly develop a lightning component that can listen to the refresh event and reload the data with the latest difference in time.

I hope this helps and incase if this comes handy can you please choose this as best answer so that it can be used by others in the future.

Regards,

Hi @ANUTEJ  We are still on classic so I'm assuming we can't use your suggestion?
