AFAIK that's only really needed when using record actions that open in a dialog (though of course in that case, VERY useful and in fact essential!). For related actions that take the user away from the UI, though, the best answer (AFAIK) remains activity chaining through the DB update in the process model.

Yes, when you change a local variable, that can cause a chain reaction that causes all the other local variables to also update, and last of all the interface components all refresh, the whole SAIL gets rebuilt from the ground up with all the new values.

refreshAfter : "RECORD_ACTION" could become your very best friend.

The process flow returns the user to the form instantly as soon as the first non-CHAINED link is reached. If this happens before the DB write occurs, the user is likely to see data reflecting the old version upon reloading of the original form.

chain* the nodes. I'm not meaning to be pedantic - the word "change" implies something completely different.

My go-to will be to change the nodes till the "Write to DSE" smart service in the PM. That should work.

If you're using a record action, you can use refreshVariable() and use the refreshAfter config to refresh the variable that stores the user info.
