I have a local variable which gets it data from an expression rule which in turn fetches data from a record. I am using this local variable within an editable grid in foreach to populate data for each rows in the grid.
When a particular value of the local variable is edited, I am enabling a Save button in the interface (The interface being displayed to user is an user input task present within a process model) and when clicked on this save button, the process gets navigated to appropriate write to data store entity smart services and then routes back to the same interface.
Now when the process stops at the same user input task again, the changed value is not reflecting and I have to do a hard refresh by pressing F5 in order for the change to reflect or I have to exit the process model and enter again. I tried using refresh variable but it is not working as expected.
Am I missing something?

The usual reason for this is that you have not fully chained your process model between the User Input Task and up to (and including) the Write to Datastore node. The first break in the chain causes Appian to immediately return control to the User Interface from which you initiated the process.
Hello Stewart,
Thank you for your reply.
I had not fully chained the process initially but after your reply, I tried fully chaining the process but still the value is not reflecting immediately after the update.
That behaviour also depends a bit in your process design. E.g. do you use a sub process to store the data? Can you post a screenshot?
Hello , Thank you for your reply. You are correct, the issue was because of the process design. Initially, I was writing data to tables using Write to datastore entity smart service parallelly along with routing the process to the user input task. Now, I created a subprocess to write data to table and then after the subprocess is completed, I am routing the process to user input task and the updated values are displayed fine now.
