Conditional calling Local action on click of Submit button

SA-107351

Summary

On invoking a Local action conditionally on click of the Submit button, the user must click the button twice to validate the When condition.

Error Messages

Not Applicable

Steps to Reproduce

Create a section with dropdowns and an AutoCorrect conrtol.
Create a button with an Action set to open a modal dialog based on a When rule. The When rule is based on the dropdowns and AutoCorrect values.
Click the button twice to use the When rule such that the popup displays. However, the When rule is true both times.

Root Cause

The Action markup for the control is generated based on the When Rule's evaluation on a Section Refresh or First load. The When Rule is updated after the Action markup is generated.

Resolution

Add a Refresh action on the Autocomplete property error code using the When condition as a ‘rule’ in the Local action of the Submit button.
Use the When as ‘other property’ instead of When rule and add all the conditions. If Step 2 is not feasible, create a boolean property (for example, Test) and create a Declare Expression on it.

a. Add all the conditions in the Expression builder of the Declare Expression.

b. Create a When rule and add the boolean property 'Test' in the When rule.
Use this When rule in the Local action for the Submit button. Despite using this change, a Refresh action must be add on the Autocomplete property error code after the Post Value.
