Keep app detail view open after save

[Christoph Damm]

Hi,

I am having the requirement to keep a details view of an app open after clicking the save button (instead of closing it and selecting the edited/created item within the browser app).

Is there anything built in that could be used or adapted or did anyone having the same requirement?

Currently I have our own SaveDetailSubAppAction which would stay on the details app. However, especially with multifields i have weird state issues that cause errors when saving more than one value after each other. I might be able to provide more detailed about that later on.

Just was wondering if anybody faced something similiar before.

Thanks and regards

Hey Christoph,

Have you tried closing and reopening the subApp (if you don't need to retain the scroll state)?

I'd try extending the close action which would:

• store the current location from LocationController, 
• call super to close the subApp
• call LocationController to return to the subApp

Let us know how it goes

Hi Roman,

technically this works (actually i was extending the ComitAction, which extends the CloseAction but had bound the closehandler to do nothing).

However, of course, as you say, now the tab and or scroll position is lost.
Which is not great from a user perspective. Any idea how i could regain that state?

Fyi: the state issues i mentioned earlier are in multifields and the reordering of nodes (which i need).

Thanks and regards

Hi again,

any chance calling 

form.populate(valueContext.getSingleOrThrow());

to reinitialise the form would fix the issue?

 

Hope that helps
