[Dynamics 365] No refresh on detail screen when using global variable for the displayed item

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I am currently building an app to browse, display and edit appointments linked to Dynamics 365. I just generated a 3-screen app from the appointment entity.

Appointment detail screen

1. Item = BrowseGallery1.Selected on detail screen
   
   By default with the 3-screen generated app, on the gallery we have this formula for the OnSelect event :

   Navigate(DetailScreen, ScreenTransition.None)

   For the detail screen, we have this for the Item field :

   BrowseGallery1.Selected

   With this, everything is fine. When I edit the appointment record, I can immeditatly see the modifiations on the detail screen after validating :

   Detail screen after modification with Item = BrowseGallery1.Select

   This is fine. Thing is that I would like to use the appointment detail screen also when coming from another gallery than BrowseGallery1. Seems pretty easy, all I have to do is this :

2. Item = appointment (global variable) on detail screen
   
   For each gallery which navigates to the detail screen, let's put this on OnSelect event :
   
   

   For our first gallery :
   
   

   Set(appointment, BrowseGallery1.Selected);
   Navigate(DetailScreen, ScreenTransition.None)

   
   For our second gallery :
   
   

   Set(appointment, BrowseGallery2.Selected);
   Navigate(DetailScreen, ScreenTransition.None)

   etc...
   
   For the detail screen, let's put this in the Item field :

   appointment

   
   This does work pretty well. The detail screen displays the right information when coming from a gallery.
   Problem is : when I modify the apointment with the edit screen, the detail screen does not display the refreshed data. I actually have to go back to the gallery with the previous button, select the record to navigate once again to the detail screen to have the data refreshed :
   
   detail screen with Item = appointment (global variable)

Any idea on this ? Any workaround ?

Thank you very much,

Regards,

Max

No idea on this one ? I tried to do some kind of Refresh, or another Set(appointment, BrowseGallery1.Selected) on OnSucess event of the editForm, but it does not solve the problem

Hi everyone,

Okay, finally I just found a workaround for this.

In the detail screen, just put this in the Item field :

LookUp(Appointments; activityid = appointment.activityid)

And it will work.
