Reading dialog form values from a refresh event

#1

In capablanca-2 I’m able to do the following:

  • Create a service dialog that has a checkbox element configured to refresh other fields when modified.
  • In the same service dialog, have a dynamic text area element that is set to auto refresh by running a workflow that populates the text area with the value of the selected checkbox element. For example, if you check the checkbox, the text area will display “t”. If you uncheck the checkbox, the text area will display “f”.

In the nightly builds I’m unable to do this, and since the nightly builds have fixed a lot of the issues we ran into in capablanca-2, it’s a better option for us to move forward with. We are still learning the product and haven’t deployed it yet, but this is the last issue that’s causing us problems so I’d like to try to get it resolved, get a workaround or for someone to tell me that I’m doing it wrong.

I’m actually trying to use dropdown lists but I figured using the checkbox as an example would be simpler and it has the same issue.

I’ve described the problem in detail at https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq/issues/7272 and created a walkthrough on how to reproduce the problem at https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq/files/180058/ManageIQ-RefreshIssue.pdf

Thanks.
