How to refresh attachment section onclick without submitting flow action
Hi,
I have a button included in my main section. On click of this button I am executing an activity which created PDF (pxCreatePDF) and I am refreshing other section which is standard pyCaseAttachmentsWrapper section (standrad pega section which shows work object attachments).What I expected is on refresh, the attachment that was just created by pxCreatePDF activity should get displayed in the section below.
I have tried many approaches using on click actions (refreshing current section, refreshing other section along with running pxCreatePDF activity, invoking javascript etc).However, although section gets refreshed in few scenarios, file attachments dont show up.
However, when I submit that flow-action, attachments show up properly on next screen.
I saw some other forums regrading the refresh of attachments section which suggested removing D_Attachmentslist data page responsible for holding attachments of given case. But latest version of pxCreatePDF activity I am using already takes care of it.
Can someone suggest what is missing or needs to be done? I am attaching screenshots of section and onclick configurations.

pxCreatePDF API does not commit implicitly. Commit needs to be handled as part of the transaction itself.
So if you use this API as part of flow action post processing, this will be auto commited as flow action processing already commits.
But since you mentioned this API is called on click of a button, commit is not happening and you are only noiticing attachment only after you submit flow action.
Let us know if this helps :)

Yes, I figured it later that when I compared pega post flow-action processing stuff. I explicitly called commitwitherrorhandling and it worked as expected. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. :)
