[solved] "Refresh the current dialog" does not work when using the enhanced user interface

Dear AI Team,

Let's assume a button that changes a property that is displayed in a text field on the same dialog. In order to make the change visible, the dialog has to be refreshed. This does not work when the enhanced user interface is used (tested with AI 19.6).

You can find an example project attached.

Best regards,

Angelo

Hello Angelo,

I have run some tests on my end and I indeed managed to reproduce this.

I will forward this to our development team so they can further investigate this.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Re: "Refresh the current dialog" does not work when using the enhanced user interface

Hello Angelo,

As a followup for this, is there a reason you are using a separate property for the text control?

If instead of the "TEXT_FIELD" property, you would use the "TEST" property, this would work for both MSI and Enhanced User Interface.

Please find the AIP attached below:
