Refresh / Reload data in a List Block

[Ben]

@fpx, you will have the same problem with this flow regardless if you are using native forms and automations running or not:

Refresh after modal close?

@artur, following up to see if/when this will be done. Updating the parent page from modals, for ALL USE CASES, should solve this ongoing problem. Evidently, the codes used here have been an unreliable workaround for years.

Yup will do.

@Ben If the Add Record action button on list blocks had conditional logic (like conditional form) that would solve the issue with refreshing after modal close as you wouldnt need to use a seperate page with a form for adding records?

The only reason we use modal forms to add records is for the conditional logic.
And it also provides a better UI/UX than ‘Add Record’ action/edit button when displayed as the right hand modal.

Agree @fpx, with usability of all your configurations. However, list actions don’t have conditionality, forms in modals don’t update parent pages in the background or navigate back to tabs when items are added. If you read the previous post thread, and this one included, you’ll find that Softr (Artur) is not that motivated in connecting, improving, and finishing features like modals unfortunately.

Tabs & Filtered User Sync

@andranik, I need to add a record using a conditional form in a modal. Unfortunately, the parent page is not updated when this happens, so it’s not as simple as closing the modal to see the new record after the form is submitted. @artur, since modals do not always update the parent page, can we have the “Scroll to” action deployed on forms which would redirect back to a particular tab (i.e. parent page in this case).
