Refresh Record View from Interface

Hello ankit0001,

please share the code snippet how you are using a!refreshVariable() , are you using refreshAlways or  refreshAfter?, hopefully this parameter suites your requirement,

Hi, Following code I am using.I am using refreshAlways:true() .

Expression Rule: Test_GetUnreadCommentCount

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

a!localVariables(
local!unreadMsgCount:
a!queryEntity(
entity: cons!TEST_REQUEST_COMMENTS,
query: a!query(
selection: {},
logicalExpression:
a!queryLogicalExpression(
operator: "AND",
filters: {
a!queryFilter(
field: "requestid",
operator: "=",
value: ri!requestId
),
a!queryFilter(
field: "isreadcomments",
operator: "=",
value:"N"
),
a!queryFilter(
field: "createdby",
operator: "<>",
value:tostring(loggedInUser())
)
}
),
pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(1,-1,{})
)
).totalCount,

" Comments (" & local!unreadMsgCount & ")",
)

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Another one when I am calling this rule on my Record Type =>  Record View Name Section is following:

a!localVariables(
local!unreadComment:
a!refreshVariable(
value:rule!Test_GetUnreadCommentCount(requestId:rv!identifier),
refreshAlways: true,
),
local!unreadComment
)

Hi Ankit,

Remove the local variables inside the expression Rule: Test_GetUnreadCommentCount. If the identifier does not change, the query rule will not refresh if you have it inside local variables, so if you have the query directly, your count will be refreshed.

 a!queryEntity(
    entity: cons!TEST_REQUEST_COMMENTS,
    query: a!query(
      selection: {},
      logicalExpression: a!queryLogicalExpression(
        operator: "AND",
        filters: {
          a!queryFilter(
            field: "requestid",
            operator: "=",
            value: ri!requestId
          ),
          a!queryFilter(
            field: "isreadcomments",
            operator: "=",
            value: "N"
          ),
          a!queryFilter(
            field: "createdby",
            operator: "<>",
            value: tostring(loggedInUser())
          )
        }
      ),
      pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(1, - 1, {})
    )
  ).totalCount

If you just want to refresh the data on clicking submit, use the refreshOnVarChange parameter and configure a local variable that changes its value on button click.

You can configure your local variables like this:

a!localVariables(
  local!refreshComments:now(),
  local!unreadComment: a!refreshVariable(
    value: rule!Test_GetUnreadCommentCount(requestId: rv!identifier),
    refreshOnVarChange: local!refreshComments
  ),
  local!unreadComment
)

And configure the button saveInto parameter with local!refreshComments

a!buttonWidget(
  label: "Submit",
  saveInto: {
    ri!saves,
    a!save(
      local!refreshComments,
      now()
    )
  }
)

Thanks.

Thanks, But the rule expression, I am calling  on my Record (view name section) and submit button is on another interface ,So there is no scope of  local!refreshComments on my interface.

You can configure it in the parent rule and pass it as a rule input, this way you can reduce the number of times you call the query when it is not needed, refreshAlways:true() will behave as with(), so it calls your query on every interaction with the screen.
