Does SP list refreshes automatically after Patch/Update/Remove?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

After manualy deleting item from SPlist, ClearCollect produces same result with deleted item included. 

So I use Refresh(SPlist) before ClearCollect.

 

Does SP list refreshes automatically after Patch/Update/Remove? Or Should I use Refresh each time before ClearCollcect in other cases?

    If you are working directly with a DataSource in your App with Update/Remove/Patch/etc your datasource WILL not need to be refreshed and your changes will be immediately available.  

    This is because your datasource is really kind of a special collection in the App and it is that which is really updated first. 

    You would only need to refresh in the situation where your SP list would be changed by someone else outside of your app.

     

    Collections are snapshots in time.  They do not change based on the datasource changes.  You have to either recollect them or alter the item in the collection as well as your datasource.

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.

    Hi @Anonymous 

    You shouldn't need to do that and ClearCollect() should be used for any control that depends on a collection from that list.  Have you tried removing the connector for that list and then reconnecting to it?
