Calculation field not refresh in Portal

[hung pham]

I have two files called A and B.

File A: fields: Project ID, aNumber

File B: fields: Project ID, Amount, CalcNumber

Fiel A and B related by Project ID

In layout of file A, I have a portal that display multi records of file

B.

Let's say the CalcNumber= Amount * File A::aNumber.

That's mean whenever the value of aNumber is changed, the CalNumber is

changed, too. However the CalcNumber is in the portal is not updated (or

refresh), I have to click in it's row portal to get refreshed number.

What do I miss?

Thank you

The record display in a portal does not get automatically refreshed. You need to do something which will cause the refresh.

Some way to do this include Refresh Window, Exit Record, going to another file or layout and returning, as well as a host of other ways.

Your solution is just kind of band aid one, I looking for a dynamic refresh (auto refresh)

FMP does NOT automatically refresh portals. Something the user or developers does must case FMP to refresh. Editing data is not one of those things.
