Grid refresh woes

Post by ACDC »

Does it not make sense to have a grid line item refresh rather than the whole form refresh

I have a complex grid on a form that needs a refresh to update a status indicator within the grid item. One of the operations on the grid line item changes things , but no exclusive refresh.

The current auto refresh does the whole form and is so cumbersome, not elegant at all. Not to mention the time taken for the refresh. Having an ajax type behavior where exclusive update of a single attribute is so needed, but seems its never going to happen. Obviously due to the way the AIM back-end works

There is no option either to setup a refresh button on the 'operation with record' which would be a workaround albeit a user interaction.

Indeed, it does make sense. Unnecessary UI refreshes make for a poor UX.
