Rendering rules are failing to match data

Skuid: Some help please?

I now have the action steps changing and saving the data TWICE in hopes that the second change/save will wait for the first save to complete. Then, if the rendering rules fire before the second save completes, at least the tested values will be correct. But no. In fact, the values tested by the rules appear to be NULLS, at least if I use a UI-only field as one of the fields changed along the way.

IS my thinking totally wrong here? Am I expecting sequential processing when there is no “sequence”? Please explain!

Hey Mike, Sorry you’re going through this.

Do you have any XML that reproduces the problem using standard objects and fields? I’d love to see what you’re running into

The code (with User) shared here might shed some light:

As to the rendering rules, here are snippets using my custom objects. Please review the logic and expectations versus the actual results. The section shown uses a field editor to display the values and rules more clearly.

        <actionsequence id="244dffcd-8ae1-4c4c-a53e-3276b6de5670" label="scheduleContactsPopup" type="reusable" event-scope="component" event-name="Network: Disconnected" uniqueid="sk-2o5N-3428">
            <description>This popup allows the user to schedule Contacts for an EventSlot (Visitation_Slot) selected from the Calendar.

(The Action Sequence is used primarily to provide quicker access to the popup in the Composer.)
The steps also test the event’s lock status. If unlocked, a lock is placed for the offender and any other
locks held by the offender are cleared.
