Summarizing portal records

[john9210]

I'm using a summary field to count values in portal records. I've placed the field on the layout, but it does not refresh until I click on the layout. I've tried using a script trigger, but again it does not update until I click on the layout. How can I get it to automatically update?

That is the expected behavior: summary fields will not refresh until records are committed. What exactly are you doing that changes the count? You could attach a script trigger to that.

Commiting records did the trick. Thanks for your help,
