Using a View in form and retaining position on F5

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Ludovico M. 23

Hi everyone,

I noticed a strange behaviour in Ax. If I try to press F5 on a View (not a table) the system is not able to retain the cursor position and goes back to the first record.

You can try it by yourself simply by opening a view (I'm using EcoResProductTranslations) in table browser and pressing F5. I get back to the first record doing that, while if I try on a real table the position is not lost.

This happen also if in a form you join something with a view.

That's really annoying. You can try to overcome the problem doing a findRecord after the executeQuery, but this is really bad on performance (I don't think that doing that this way the query is paged correctly)

Do you know if there is a solution to this problem? 

Thank you

    No need to worry about performance with findRecord(). Even if there is any impact, it will be negligible. You are (in addition to standard refresh) fetching a record just once more.

    I did understand you correctly.

    By code, I meant, overriding the task method on the form, and for [tag:taskF5], instead of calling super(), you call DS.research(true), or findRecord().

    Hi Crispin, thank you for your answer but I think you haven't understood correctly the question.

    I'm not calling anything by code, I'm just pressing F5 on a view. DS.research(true) will not work anyway.

    FindRecord maybe will, but it has major drawbacks on performance side.

    FindRecord is definitely a fitting workaround.

    Have you tried DS.research(true) btw?
