Do not reload table widget while making edits, or at least don't scroll to the top

I've created an experience to make edits in a table widget. However, after each edit, the table refreshes, cancels my sort order, and scrolls to the top, which is fairly infuriating when you're trying to make multiple edits to a long table.

Having the table refresh in ArcGIS Experience Builder after making a single feature edit is very disruptive to our users, and we would really like it to be resolved.

I think everyone on this forum understands the level of effort it takes Esri to build these (actually pretty incredible (when you consider they are web based)) application frameworks, and we just need to be optimistic that they'll get there eventually. Sure, I also find it frustrating that development effort sometimes goes into features that our organisation don't really need, instead of something that we really needed yesterday - but its hard to cater for millions of users, and someone out there probably needs this stuff.

I'm not hugely familiar with the ins and outs of the JS 4.x API and how the table works over there, but if it doesn't refresh after an edit there, lets hope it doesn't in EXB sometime soon.

Alternatively, there's another great idea here: Save button for Table, rather than automatic refre... - Esri Community to implement a save button into the table. I would actually prefer this as it would allow users to cancel all of their edits. This would effectively allow users to have an session of updating attributes (Ideally bulk attribute edits i.e. Field Calculator style!) and then either save or discard if you stuffed up your data...

It appears to not be fixed in version 1.10 

I will try it in 1.11 when I get a chance

In the mean time, filtering down the dataset to a smaller number seems to help it not lose track of edits.

I am experiencing this problem with the table refreshing after making an edit too. Did anyone fix it or do you have a more elegant way to have the user edit attributes in ExB?

I even tried adding the Edit Widget without any luck.

So the workflow would be: 

  • Sort the table
  • Click on record one to select it
  • View the attributes in the edit widget
  • Make the edit and click Update
  • <<<AHHHH>>> The table refreshes during the update and I loose my progress through the sorted table!!! Not good.
