Question
Page refresh after Grid edit
When fields are updated in grid edit triggering an automation the page requires a manual refresh to see the changes. Is there a way for the automation to work and the record to update without having to refresh the page?

+17Hi Carolyne,
When making use of an Automation to create changes in a record there is a gap of time between when the record is saved and the Automations fire. What this means is that in the instances of a Grid Edit being saved or a Form being saved with possible changes there are times when a record will save and the next page will display before the Automations have a chance to run or finish running. There is not currently a built in function to have a page hold off on loading until after all Automations fire or to dynamically update as data changes, in that instance to be sure all changes appear you would need to refresh the page.
If you feel that having an Automation trigger and display changes on the page without needing to be refreshed would be valuable I would suggest adding that feedback to our User Voice page. User Voice is a tool our Product Development team use to track feedback from our users on desired features or enhancements.

Carolyne, if you contrive to put the child table in a tab, then by the time the user clicks the tab, the automation will have had a chance to run. So you can decide if, on balance, that will be a better user experience. It's an extra click, but potentially less user confusion over the "missing records".
