Show the information link specific 'Prompt for Values' dialog using API in Python Scripts


I expects that Table.Refresh() API call (which is an equivalent of the manual Reload Data from professional client) on a data table should show a 'Prompt For Values' dialog if the data table is configured in that way (If you add some prompts to an IL and configure the data table to "Prompt for new settings before loading").

Detailed Description:

Create a table from an information link that has several prompts.

When we click the "Reload Data" button, the 'Prompt For Values' dialog window appears.

I expects the same prompt window to appear when the user clicks on a button (in a Text Area) connected to an Iron Python script.

He has tried to implement table.Refresh(), which refreshes the table but does NOT display the 'Prompt For Values' dialog.

Under Edit/DataTable Properties, the table is set to:
1. Linked to source
2. Prompt for new settings before loading
