Enable table reload with prompt from IronPython in Web player

Table reload is available to be triggered as a script in the client, the same is not available on the web. This leads for inconsistent report design and the need to try and train users to access the menu for reload but can configure action buttons for other functions.

How are so many other capabilities available by script, but not in the web?

    Hi Dave, thanks for the clarification. I've updated the description.

    Hi Magnus, Sorry the request issue was not clear. The issue stems from prompted information links.

    While code can do a 'refresh' table, it is not supporting prompted links.
    When a data table is built with prompted information link, the user menu item "Reload" data table uses the prompt

    When accessing Edit > Data tables the option exists to Refresh Data "With Prompt" and "Without Prompt".

    However, when using Python to refresh a table it seems to only call the unprompted refresh.

    table.Refresh()

    Hi Dave,

    In the general case it should be possible to use the APIs for data reload (e.g. DataTable.ReloadAllData) from the web client case (except for TIBCO Cloud Spotfire). Do you have any specific conditions that prevent this?

    Best Regards,

    Magnus
