This one is rather difficult to explain, so I’ll defer to steps to reproduce and sample page for the details. In short, in certain situations, a reference field value is not being rendered properly after selecting from the lookup popup window.


Steps to reproduce:


  1. Create a new detail page for account

  2. Add the “Owner ID” field to the field section “Basics” (you could pick any reference field)

  3. Save the page

  4. Preview the page picking an existing account

  5. Toggle the ownerfield in to edit mode

  6. click the magnifying glass

  7. remove the default search filter so all results display

  8. Go to any page other than page 1 and select a value by clicking the “link icon” - The problem does not happen if you choose an item from page 1

Actual Result

Lookup closes but the Owner ID field shows the old value


Expected Result

Lookup closes and Owner ID displays the new value


A few notes:


  1. The OwnerId and Owner fields in the data row (skuid.$M(‘Account’).getFirstRow()) contain the correct values, it’s just that the ui is not updated to display the new value

  2. This does not happen if you pick an item from page 1 of the lookup

  3. I remember a similar type of issue with reference fields not re-rendering properly after they were updated (this was before the lookup popup was introduced).

  4. If you remove the value from the field before Step 6, the result is the same - after selecting a new value, the field displays blank instead of having the new value.

  5. Reproduced on Chrome 39.0.2171.71 & IE11

Thanks for the comprehensive write up.  We will look into the issue. 


Hi Rob - I just tested this with 6.8.7 and it still appears to be occurring.  Any updates?


This has been fixed in dev. And should be available in the next patch release.


Great news, thanks Ben!


This should be fixed in the 6.8.8 release.  Let me know how it goes.


Tested with 6.8.8 and confirmed.  Thank you Ben!
