I want to have a Refresh button in the form, can anyone suggest how we can refresh the form by clicking a button in the form, I was able to refresh the form using the function "linktoquicktask(pp!id), however I dont want this task to be a quick task.
Do we have any functions which links to the same form?...

set the values of all the fields to null in the saveInto of your desired expression. that expression needs to run. this is often seen associated with a button component used to clear or reset a form.

There's probably a shinier way to do this in the new SAIL forms, but if you're using chained tempo forms, you could simply have a gateway that checks for a button click of "refresh" and chains back into the same form.

I am not using Sail or Tempo forms, Its a form with JS in it. The requirement is to refresh the form without submitting it and refresh the values.. Any thoughts???

Where are the values coming from? Form data is automatically refreshed (provided you checked the appropriate box in the Other tab) whenever the form is opened/re-opened.

Yes Mike, the checkbox in other tab which refreshes the value is checked, I want the user to click on some button or other control so that the form refresh and the values in a paging grid will also be refreshed. Thank You
