I’m not sure if this is intentional or a potential bug so starting this off as a question…

On a custom view in a table, the standard sequence of events is:

beforeRender, render, renderComplete

However, when a new row is added to a model, the order is

render, beforeRender, renderComplete

Questions:

1. 
   

   Is this order by design or a potential bug?
   
   From a logical perspective and to be consistent with other call sequences, it would seem that the sequence should be beforeRender, render, renderComplete especially when the name “beforRender” implies it comes before rendering.

   
   


2. 
   

   Should beforeRender/renderComplete even be getting called in this case?
   
   There is something to be said for the fact that beforeRender & renderComplete shouldn’t even be called in this case as the only thing that is “rendered” is the item not the list.

   
   

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create page using XML below


2. Preview page


3. open debug console

Expected Behavior = Actual Behavior

the first rendering of the custom view follows the beforeRender, render, renderComplete order

4. Add a record to top table using the “+” sign

Expected Behavior

Order of events is beforeRender, render, renderComplete

Actual Behavior

Order of events is render, beforeRender, renderComplete
