Opening record type action in dialog box is not refreshing the views automatically

Question

Hello All, 
 
 We have created a record type and some related actions. The related action is based on process model and process model is activity chained. When we configure this record actions using "DIALOG BOX" then after record action gets completed, The data inside summary view is not getting refreshed automatically. User has to refresh the page to get updated data. Does anyone has any idea as to why is this happening? Or is it something appians default behavior?

AFAIK this is expected behavior, and is also the reason that a!refreshVariable() 's "refreshAfter" parameter can be set to "RECORD_ACTION" (though I haven't tried it recently to verify it will do what you're hoping, i'd try this first).

Chaining behavior with record actions is consistent whether you open an action in the same tab or a dialog. You have to check 3 things: 
 1. Are you chaining through the write to DS node in your process? 2. Is your local variables configured as a refresh variables to refresh after RECORD_ACTION? 
 3. Is your local variable using an expression rule? Within that expression rule, are you using a!localVariables() and making sure your variables always refresh? docs.appian.com/.../Local_Variables.html
