I have an add/edit form - if the context is non-null, then I'm editing, otherwise I'm adding. So far, so good.
As the user edits, they occasionally submit to the server to get the server's impressions of what they've posted so far (it looks at what they've submitted, works out some metrics). These metrics are displayed in the zone that the form is linked to. So, I got a curious problem where I'd go to the form to add a new entity, click submit and the metrics would show up. But each time I did this, a new record was saved. I suspect that, when the form updates a zone, the form has no chance to realize that the page now has a context. Only a full-page refresh (or perhaps of a zone that contains the form) will do that. Is there a workaround for this? Is there some way I can get the form to update its sense of the page context? (Short of ditching the zone and having the page refresh, which is easy.) Gratefully, Michael
