Refreshing of Main Search Grid after creating a new revision

Hello,

Is there a way to refresh the Main Search Grid after creating a new revision of an Item?

I have an action 'Create New Revision' which has a method On Complete which refreshes the Item. For that case I'm using 'parent.onRefresh()'. The method works properly when the Item is opened and the user clicks on the Action. But it fails when the Action is triggered from the Main Search Grid.

    I found a workaround. Not sure if this is the right way to do it but it works for now [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8] Here is the code that I'm using now:

    Actually, the 'if' is taken from one of your projects, Angela [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]

    The art of proper refreshing item is hard to master. Some questions first:

    Do you use a client or server Method or both combined?

    Do you use an Action or a CUI element?

    Do you return the new revisioned item in your Method? That normally does the trick for server Method.

        Ahh the runSearch trick. [emoticon:6d505171faa4497c85c5ca27290c555d] I somehow like the fact that partners sometimes use my most shady workarounds for premium customer projects.  [emoticon:0f36700dfeb3494fa10d47dd9e1f90a1]

        You´re invited to test out this one and let me know the result.

        if (window.isItemsGrid) {
        window.updateRow(aras.getItemById(options.itemTypeName, itemID, 0));
        }

        I haven´t tested this one yet case I didn´t had a proper use case yet.

      The main method is a server-side, the method On Complete is a client-side. 

      I'm using an Action.

      The server-side method returns the new revisioned item but sometimes it doesn't work properly and the item is not 'refreshed' somehow.
