Issue description

Currently, the children of SpringArm3D component, only update their transform at runtime. And if I modified the properties (spring_arm_length...) of SpringArm3D, the children(for example a camera node), which will be inconsistent about the transform from editor preview to real play in game.

This is really more of a proposal, and solving this is pretty complicated and would introduce various potential problems as physics doesn't run in the editor, it'd also need to be something you opt-in for or it'll break existing workflows IMO

I'd suggest opening a proposal instead as that's more suited to this as this is a potentially missing feature and not a bug
