It would be to test, but we stopped at the triggers to be honest on our end. If we come across a more complex use case perhaps it would be worth a try so I'll keep it in note on my end, thanks.

The one hint I have is, I've found in the past that if you use Start Process from within a SAIL form, and you chain the entire process (with no pauses/etc within that process), the SAIL form will attempt to re-evaluate its WITH parameters AFTER the updates made by the process are complete. I.E, you might be able to push in your DB updates and have your form refresh in such a way that they are reflected in the next refresh.

Is it possible to move those variables in load?

In the end with some exchange with Appian this seems limited and the only way is through triggers in the database like mentionned by Carlos.

Thanks for the feedback both of you very appreciated.

For vinay : Sadly the variable is within a with clause and not a load clause so I cannot refresh it during onSuccess (I tried!). Within the with it refreshed when writeToDataStoreEntity is called.

Carlos : That is the last resort scenario yes, we wish to avoid triggers but I'm afraid up to now it's the only viable solution.

There is a way to do it, all you need to do is in the OnSuccess:{} call a!save() function and set the variable back again which is used for rendering grid.

You could write a trigger in the database so that the audit entry is logged when the changes are made
