Enter Key Action Submit/Search Activated, but cursor moves as well.
Hello Group,
At this time I have simply enabled the "Enter" action within a Dynamic Layout to allow the enter key on the keyboard to execute a search. The enter key action works to call the search; however, it also moves the cursor down one field like the "Tab" keyboard function.
Is this a bug or is there any different way to configure this without this unintended side effect?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi Rett,
Thanks for the reply and suggestion! I did try setting the focus back to a field yet that did not set the cursor back on that specified field. However, after further playing around with the setup I had to retain the refresh action in the dynamic layout and then I added the refresh action on enter key for each cell within the dynamic layout. This kept the cursor within the field where text was entered and then the action upon enter key was performed. I attached two screen shots to show the simple cell layout and action. Thank you for the input!
Best,

Hi Jonathan,
I believe the refresh section on your control is what is driving the focus to the next field. This might be OOTB behavior depending on what release you are on.
Can you try adding a Set-Focus call after the refresh as a local change to set focus back to your field of choice?
