    Hi Divya,

    What do you mean with "will form data source research be called"? Can you share more information?

    Hi,

    I would like to know if pressing F5(form refresh) will call formdatasource.research() method.

    Thanks.

    Hi Divya,

    Refresh (): Using any content in the form cache stored in the records of that particular data source, the records in the database will not be re-read.

    So it doesn't call research (), but you can combine them to achieve the desired results.

    Pressing F5 or clicking the browser refresh button will reload the entire page/ form and one of the methods that will be executed is the datasource executeQuery method.

    The datasource research method is usually called from code to reload the records of the datasource but keeping the current filter if there is any.
