Reopen current ux after save

[Sparticuz]

I've got a tabbed ui that has a UX open in it. I have some custom code in onDialogInitialize to specify the key, then a Populate Dialog from Tables Load Server Side action to open the record when it's opened. (The record changes on each open). On my afterDialogValidate, I've got the normal Save Data Server Side Action. In that, there are a few options for the After Submit Action. There is enter another record (which gives me a blank ux), Redirect to a new page, or Edit current record. I basically need a way to just re-run the entire UX. Start over from scratch. What is the best way to accomplish this?

I think you have to first decide where "Scratch" is...in other words where are you when you "open it" ? Sounds like you would have to close the pane and reopen it since it populates on initialize. For some reason, I think this is more of a logical flow issue - if the record changes every time it is opened.

Re: Reopen current ux after save

It's a telemarketing app that pops up a new record each time the ux is opened. A new record each time is desired functionality. Right now, I have the code in onDialogInitialize, but have also tried the code under onDialogExecute. I think I may be coming to the same conclusion. I think I might have to close the pane and open a new one each time. I'm going to be playing around with Synchronize functions today and see if I can get it working that way.

Would a button click (New Record) after you close the screen work?

So here's what I seem to have got working:

1) I turned the code to get the next Primary Key into a function and stuck it into Xbasic functions. It takes some data to get the key (not important), and returns a number (the primary key)
2) onDialogInitialize: Runs Populate Dialog from Tables (using the key returned from step 1)
3) Dialog get's populated
... (Use info in dialog, edit, etc...)
4) Submit!
5) afterDialogValidate: Runs Save Data server side action. Here are the important steps. e.javascript = "" (removes the action from the Save Data SSA), then I run my getNextKey function, which then runs another Populate Dialog from Tables SSA.

Step 5 is the important one. I basically give the UX new keys and it effectively resets it back to the beginning. I think I may need to add in a {dialog.object}.resetForm() in there as well, because some fields are still showing the previous values.

confusing at least to me.
are you saving the data or simply this is an exercise where you change the data and clean up the ux/dialog and start with a different record?

So this Server Side Action

Creates some Javascript that get's put into e.javascript. I don't want any of that to happen, so that's why I set e.javascript = "". Yes, the data is saved, but then I want to bring up another record to display.

Re: Reopen current ux after save

function afterDialogValidate as v (e as p)

'This saves any changes to the prospect, it also saves notes
ExecuteServerSideAction("Save Data::Save Data")

'This resets any non-data-bound fields back to defaults & also stops the action specified in the "Save Data" Server side action
e.javascript = "{dialog.Object}.resetForm(false);"
'This get's the next Primary Key
dim prospect as n = getNextKey(Context.Request.Variables.territory)
'This reloads all the data-bound fields with the new Primary Key record.
ExecuteServerSideAction("Populate Dialog from Tables::LoadNext")
