Alert api does not update EvalData values when in "alerting" state

Grafana Configuration
1

e.g. the value when running “test rule” in the web console displays “1.76” but in the api the value is locked on “1.70” - which is the value which first triggered the alert.
It also means that if a second server triggers the same alert only the first is shown in the api response.
This seems to have happened to all our alerts since upgrading to grafana 5 (we are now on 5.1.0)

I am guessing this is because of the “multiple series” notes here - which generally makes sense when it comes to sending notifications - - but I still don’t see why the api response could not be updated.

Filed an issue but it was closed - not sure if the feature mentioned here is really what I’m looking for though.
