    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:

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.

        Hi Skoleva,

        you still own me the test result! That was part of the deal.[emoticon:4191f5ee34e248a29fa0dbe8d975f74a]

        I wouldn´t have shared this one to a partner if it would not bring myself a benefit. So don´t forget it![emoticon:0e469978eb8947d18b9c41123db3725a]
