Idea: I would like to propose adding a new event for Mendix UI elements such as containers, buttons, and other similar components: 'Refresh Object'.
Overview: The 'Refresh Object' event would allow developers to refresh a selected object directly from UI elements. This would enable the user to trigger a refresh of a specific object (or objects) present in the context, without needing additional microflows or nanoflows to accomplish this task.
Key Features:
- Context-Based Object Selection: When configuring the 'Refresh Object' event, developers could select from the available objects in the current context.
- Ease of Use: This event would streamline the process of updating or reloading data displayed in the UI, such as after a user action or button click, reducing the need for custom microflows.
- Enhanced Flexibility: It would provide more flexibility when working with dynamic content that requires frequent updates, improving the user experience by keeping information up to date with minimal effort.
Benefits:
- Reduces the need for custom logic to refresh objects in microflows.
- Improves development efficiency by providing a straightforward, built-in solution.
- Enhances UX by allowing objects to be refreshed dynamically based on user interactions.
This feature could greatly improve the efficiency and flexibility of managing object refresh actions within Mendix projects.
