LCA – Refreshing a page breaks query links

Hi community,

I’m wondering if there is a workaround for the following situation:

I have a GQI component that allows users to filter data in other pages. This works well until a refresh is performed in any of the pages that depend on the initial GQI component.
When that occurs, the queries lose the main page filter, showing “Nothing to show” and forcing users to manually return to the main page.

Ideally, after a refresh either the data comes back, or users can be redirect automatically to the main page.

Thank you!

Hi Sebastian, by 'refresh' do you mean a full page refresh, a trigger component or a re-fetch action?

Hi Wout, sorry I should have been more specific.
I meant a full browser page refresh.

Hi Sebastian,

Refreshing the entire page will indeed clear all the current feeds and return the app back to its ‘initial state’. There is currently nothing you can really do about that.

We are currently working on a new ‘On app open’ (name to be refined) event that would allow you to always navigate to the home page when an app is opened/refreshed.

Hi Wout, would a variable help for this use case?
Say the variable value is set in the home page, users navigate to another page and then refresh it. Will the variable value be lost?

If variables don't work either, then do you have a task ID I can track the 'On app open' event?

Thank you!

Hi Sebastian, variable values are also lost after the page is refreshed. These are bound to a session. The 'On app open' event is already released in DataMiner 10.5.10 (https://docs.dataminer.services/release-notes/Web_apps/Web_apps_Feature_Release_10.5/Web_apps_Feature_Release_10.5.10.html#low-code-apps-on-open-events-can-now-also-be-configured-on-app-level-id-43550)
