Refresh issue with a!richTextItem on variable refresh

I'm not sure I understand the issue you're having - can you provide more information? What are you expecting to happen and what are you actually seeing happen? What else is happening on your interface?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the reply, I just want to update/refersh local!surveyDoc on a a!processStart, local!surveyDoc i am using to dynamically display some document names on richTextItem inside richtextdisplayfield..

I think part of my confusion is that there is nothing in your code above that is updating local!surveyDoc - how is that variable being defined and how do you expect it to be updated? Also, what is the process start link doing?

process start :

a!linkField(
label: "",
labelPosition: "ADJACENT",
links: {
a!dynamicLink(
label: "Pull From Maestro",
saveInto: {
a!startProcess(
processModel: cons!TCA_PM_PULL_DOCS_FROM_MAESTRO,
processParameters: {
colocationRequestId:ri!requestId,
documentTypeId:cons!TCA_VAL_SURVEY_COLOCATION_DOC_ID,
maestroDocumentId:cons!TCA_VAL_SURVEY_MAESTRO_DOC,
siteId:local!colocationRequest.siteId
}
)
}
)
}
)

surveyDoc variable:

local!surveyDoc:
rule!TCA_QueryEntity(
dse:if(rule!APN_isBlank(ri!PIPPackage.packageId),cons!TCA_DSE_VW_GET_REQUEST_DOCUMENTS,cons!TCA_DSE_PIP_PACKAGE_DOCUMENTS) ,
columns: {"appianDocumentId","documentId"},
filterEqualFields:if(rule!APN_isBlank(ri!PIPPackage.packageId),{"requestId","documentType"},{"packageId","documentTypeId"}),
filterEqualValues:if(rule!APN_isBlank(ri!PIPPackage.packageId),{ri!requestId, cons!TCA_VAL_SURVEY_COLOCATION_DOC_ID},{ri!PIPPackage.packageId,cons!TCA_VAL_SURVEY_COLOCATION_DOC_ID}),
ignoreIsDeleted: false(),
pagingInfo:a!pagingInfo(1,-1),
isIndexIntoData:true()
)

process start :

a!linkField(
label: "",
labelPosition: "ADJACENT",
links: {
a!dynamicLink(
label: "Pull From Maestro",
saveInto: {
a!startProcess(
processModel: cons!TCA_PM_PULL_DOCS_FROM_MAESTRO,
processParameters: {
colocationRequestId:ri!requestId,
documentTypeId:cons!TCA_VAL_SURVEY_COLOCATION_DOC_ID,
maestroDocumentId:cons!TCA_VAL_SURVEY_MAESTRO_DOC,
siteId:local!colocationRequest.siteId
}
)
}
)
}
)

surveyDoc variable:

local!surveyDoc:
rule!TCA_QueryEntity(
dse:if(rule!APN_isBlank(ri!PIPPackage.packageId),cons!TCA_DSE_VW_GET_REQUEST_DOCUMENTS,cons!TCA_DSE_PIP_PACKAGE_DOCUMENTS) ,
columns: {"appianDocumentId","documentId"},
filterEqualFields:if(rule!APN_isBlank(ri!PIPPackage.packageId),{"requestId","documentType"},{"packageId","documentTypeId"}),
filterEqualValues:if(rule!APN_isBlank(ri!PIPPackage.packageId),{ri!requestId, cons!TCA_VAL_SURVEY_COLOCATION_DOC_ID},{ri!PIPPackage.packageId,cons!TCA_VAL_SURVEY_COLOCATION_DOC_ID}),
ignoreIsDeleted: false(),
pagingInfo:a!pagingInfo(1,-1),
isIndexIntoData:true()
)

I think the issue is that you need to pull something back from the process after you start it. You currently don't have any way of forcing the local!surveyDoc to refresh after the process completes (and I assume the process is generating a document that you wish to query?)

I'd suggest adding an "onSuccess" parameter to your start process above that saves the result of the process into another variable. Then, your local!surveyDoc can also check that variable to determine if it needs to refresh using a!refreshVariable().

Hi,

Just as a side note, code like this would present much more cleanly and readable if you'd insert it into a Code Box - check Mihai's comment (below) for an example.  Like this, it's really hard to read, since all indentation etc has been stripped away.

thanks issue resolved

thanks i'll remember it next time.
