Question

Auto refresh after saving?

This is a weirdly specific use case, and I'm having some trouble with it. 

I'm currently generating records in one (parent) table using a GenAddRecord link from a table in a separate app. The GenAddRecord link sends information which, upon saving the new parent record, is used by an Action to create a child record which is related to the newly created parent record. 

What this effectively means is that the system automatically sets up a relationship, but only after the save button is clicked. So when the users click save, expecting to see their new child record on the report link for the parent, they are disappointed. They need to manually refresh the page to see the child. 

This seems like it could be solved by adding an auto-refresh after saving. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks, Alex

    Had a similar issue in my system I found out that there is a feature in Quickbase that by default is not enabled called AJAX Report Loading. Have you Realm admin request this be enabled for your account by submitting a help Support Case. This has to be done at an account level not by an App Administrator

    Hope this helps

    Hi all. There is now an official post regarding this, here: https://community.quickbase.com/quickbase/topics/scroll-and-load-forms-embedded-report-ajax
    try meta refresh on your custom page (or button?)

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Best Title for Page Ever</title>
    <script type="text/javascript"> if(window.top.location != window.location) { window.top.location.href = window.location.href; } </script>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; URL=javascript:window.open('different-or-same-page.html','_top');">
    </head>
    <body> Such a great page. </body>
    </html>
