Trouble with document refresh

Hi All,

I’m hoping someone can help me out with a problem I’ve been banging my head on. I have a database with two forms, Form A and Form B. The “child” document is set to inherit field values from both other forms (this is not a response document either). When I refresh the “child” document using ToolsRefreshSelectedDocs, it works just fine. When I use a backend agent using ComputeWithForm, my data disappears in the view.

I suspect this is most likely because the child is inheriting values from the parents, but the parents contain no data, just placeholder text. The child contains the real data. How do I refresh the child and keep the placeholder text? The data is still there like it should be. Calling a Doc.SAve on the document to refresh it isn’t good enough since it doesn’t seem to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

As a general rule, the ComputeWithForm method will not handle @DbLookup type formulas, only calculations within the document. It’s more work, but generally you need to set your script code to explicitly calculate the values for each field.
