relationExtendRefreshResults and formRefreshFields

Need Help
#1

Hi all,

I’m making a custom view for the create and update page for one of my plugins,
Everything was fine, until i wanted to refresh a field when the relationWidget is updated like if a add or remove an item,

i’ve put this in my controller

    public function relationExtendRefreshResults($field)
    {
        // Make sure the field is the expected one

        return $this->formRefreshFields('_total');
    }

But when i add or remove an item in the relation widget, my dependant field is updated just with the last ajax call.

Example :

  1. In my relationwidget i have
    1 x item A = 100 USD
    1 x item B = 100 USD
  1. at this point my total field shows me 200 USD
  1. I remove item A, i expect my total field to refresh with 100 USD value, but the ajax response sends 200 USD
  1. I remove now item B, i expect my total field to refresh with 0 USD value, but the ajax response sends 100 USD

there’s a gap between actions, and i have search in RelationController, and in HasManageMode to fix it, but nothing works,

Could someone help me please ?

Best

According to the explanation, the relationExtendRefreshResults($field) is called before the relation widget propagate the removed item. Check the request payload when the refresh event is triggered for depended field.
