Refresh API blanking out fields on screen (DX API V1)
I am using DX API V1 in our 8.5.2 application and the front end is rendered by JSON.
One issue I observed is that the values on screen are not retained when the refresh API is called (we are invoking the refresh API for visibility of fields). The API payload has the data in its content but the response JSON doesn't have those values.
Has anyone faced any similar issues?

Hi @avisekmondal,
Since the DXAPI is stateless, if the values to be displayed are not persisted before displaying the section, the values will be lost at the point of refreshing. To get around this, I have called a data transform to set the values before reaching the assignment shape containing the flow action/section. This ensures the data is persisted for the API call to retrieve.
Hope this helps!

Thanks Sarah.
I raised on SR for this and it turned out to be an issue with the Angular starter pack. After installing the newest Ang. pack as Pega suggested in the SR, it seems to be working.
Thanks!
