Hello,
We found this issue when one user works in exclusive edit mode, another user opens this module for read only. the changes are not updated to the read-only user until he closes and re-opens the module. did anyone found some kind of solution for that?

Thank you,
Asaf Kivity

The "refresh" function does not work the way that you think it does. Unfortunately, when user A is in a module in read only mode, and there is user B in shareable or exclusive edit mode making changes and saving user A will not see these changes unless he swithces the mode he is in. Technically, he does not have to close the module and reopen it to see the recent changes. While in the module, he can go to Edit >> Edit Mode to switch the mode that he is in (ie. switch from read only to shareable edit).

This is a feature and not a problem needing a solution. Whenever you open for Read you get a copy from the server and deal with that. What goes on after that you don't get to see. The "solution" would involve excessive server-client communcation which would slow down access to a crawl.

Switching the edit mode does reopen the module so long as you switch "up": switching down to "R" doesn't reopen (but that doesn't matter in this case since you alread have the latest info).

Consider writing a DXL that would look something like this:
Module mod = current
if (!isRead(mod)) halt // lets deal with R modules only
bool IsVisible = isVisible(mod)
string NameFull = fullName(mod)
close(mod)
mod = read(NameFull, IsVisible)

The Problem with this solution is that it actually closes the module, as oposed to moving through the edit options, leaving the module open and just reloading the data (i look for something like that).

Thank you for your answer,
Asaf.
