Portal displays incorrect/un-updated data

[Gabriel Khaselev]

to the FMP Guru's out there,

 

My solution contains a layout based on Table A that has two portals, one portal shows records from a related Table B that is only one relationship away. it works perfectly fine. The other portal is based on Table C which is related to Table B and ultimately Table A. The relationship works fine, and the portal almost always shows the correct data. On this layout as you go through the workflow it eventually changes a field in a record of Table C and then exits the layout. You can see this change immediately on a layout that is dedicated to another occurence of Table C. Then if i go back into the layout that displays the portal to Tables B and C the field that has been changed in my previous visit to this layout is not reflected. the portal to Table C shows the old value of the field.

 

thought it might be a caching issue, so i flush the cash everytime you enter or leave the layout containing two portals. but this didnt help.

Perhaps for a value in C to show up Updated on a layout based on A, a value must change in B since A and C are not directly related. Hard to say.
