Configurator recalculation

Question for the Configurator users out there.

We want to use the global variables to enter a laminate color for materials. This laminate color would then propagate to other lines with the same color field.
There are different prices associated with colors so we must be able to recalculate/reconfigure each configured line to acquire its correct price (run out to a CSV sheet and get new price). There is nothing in the documentation that says the configurators will recalculate in this way. It doesn't say they will and it doesn't say they will not. Our testing indicates they will only replace the specific global value in the specified fields and not trigger recalculation.
Has anyone faced this problem and gotten all configured lines to recalculate after a global variable has been entered in one of them?

Thanks,
Dave
