iLogic trigger needed for either "Update" or "Reference Parameter change"

In prepping some complex files and assemblies for my drafting teams, I've discovered some limitations with Inventor and in searching around the forums and the web I have the solution but need the trigger.  The situation is too complex to describe all the how, when & why I take this path but the short of it all is that I'm using Parameters in a part file to drive changes and using Reference Parameters in an assembly file to derive the basic information I need from the part file inserted to drive other formulas in the assembly file.

 

When using the Update function to update the assembly file with the model changes everything gets updated correctly "except" for the User Parameters driven by the Reference Parameters; this appears to only be corrected by a "Rebuild All" function.  I've created a rule to rebuild but the only success I've had with getting the rule to fire is with saving or opening the document.

 

From searching the forums, there doesn't appear to be a trigger for an update or a parameter change except strictly for the "Model" parameters.  Has anyone figured out way to create or attach a trigger to the Update or "Any change to any Parameter"?

 

 

If anyone from Autodesk reads this, the desired solution is to simply have all the parameters update not just a select few, so such rules are not needed.  (hint, hint:  Future Update)
