I posted essentially the same question earlier with no response so I think I did a poor job with the question. I have a flow in the [HOME]Toolbar group that fetches solar activity and then I post it to the toolbar. If I refresh the Home tab the data posts properly:
When I change tabs the data is there for all tabs until I refresh the browser.
To get the data back I have to navigate back to the Home tab and the data is then present and when I navigate back to any other tab the data is there until the next refresh.
I have been trying to research this and have read about using the ui_control node to force an update but I have not been successful. Trying to debug this issue I am inspecting the browser out put and notice that when there is no data the variable in the browser is set to 0:
I am starting to think that a refresh is either deleting the data or for some reason it's not being picked up.
Below is the json for one function and the client / server templates.
Regards,
Mick
