Add Row Link Working when Testing Interface but not in Record List Action

Hi,

I have several editable grids in my interface with an add row link. When I'm testing the interface in the rule editor, the link works just fine for all grids, but when I try to create a new record using the record list action, clicking the link does not do anything. 

The grids are implemented as follows:

a!gridLayout(
label: "Wachstumstreiber und Schlüsselerfolgsfaktoren",
labelPosition: "ABOVE",
emptyGridMessage: "Keine Wachstumstreiber angegeben",
headerCells: {
a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Wachstumstreiber"),
a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Schlüsselerfolgsfaktoren"),
if(
local!readOnly,
{},
{ a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "") }
)
},
columnConfigs: {
a!gridLayoutColumnConfig(weight: 1),
a!gridLayoutColumnConfig(weight: 1),
if(
local!readOnly,
{},
{ a!gridLayoutColumnConfig(width: "ICON") }
)
},
rows: a!forEach(

The rule input ri!konzeptRecord, into which the rows are meant to be saved, is passed down using the following call in the parent interface being used for the record list action:

rule!PEP_KonzeptMarktanalyse(
konzeptRecord: ri!konzeptRecord,
readOnly: ri!readOnly
),

I'd be happy for any pointers, as I find the inconsistent behavior between rule editor and actual call of the record list action very confusing.

    In record list actions, rule inputs aren't automatically saved back to the record.

    In your record list action configuration, add a writeRecords parameter or use onSuccess with a!save() to explicitly write ri!konzeptRecord back to the record after the interface interaction.
    The add row link modifies ri!konzeptRecord in memory but doesn't persist without an explicit save operation in the record action context.

  • But wouldn't I be able to at least see a row being added when filling out the form, i.e. at runtime, if the new row is saved in memory? Already there, the link just doesnt trigger an update to the record being edited. I also just tried adding 

    a!writeRecords(
    records: ri!konzeptRecord,
    )

    But that didn't solve my problem.
