Rendering of updated nested components in SmartEdit not working in 1808

Hi Experts,

SmartEdit basically supports nested components:

https://help.hybris.com/1811/hcd/fbc2ffddd98e4a208e21b275476424f3.html

This basically works like a charm. If you edit a nested component, an additional editor dialog is opened (stacked above the initial editor dialog). If you now change the nested component and save the changes, the stacked editor is closed and you can see the initial editor.

If you do not change anything in the initial editor and just close it by hitting "Cancel", the cms page is not refreshed (and you do not see the changes from the nested component). If you manual refresh by hitting F5, the changes become visible. Or if you also change something in the initial dialog, the changes also become visible.

We are using nested components for:

• Links

• Teasers

So, this is a common use case (in my opinon).

Is this an intened behaviour or a bug? Any advice?

Cheers, Andreas

Hi.. I am facing the same behavior with nested components. Did you find the solution of this?

Hi ashish12390

I can tell one workaround for this as to fix this you need to do a lot customization. You can create a dynamic/type attribute like "isModifiedNested" in parent component and make it always false from interceptor or attribute handler. So whenever you are changing child/nested you need to least change in parent and based on this edit parent save button will get enabled.

Here is another discussion on the same topic with a little more insight. Maybe this might help others https://answers.sap.com/questions/12751542/synchronization-status-do-not-update-after-editing.html
