CDS CAP Fiori Elements App with SideEffects on Parent Entity not triggered after action execution

[ckuczera]

Dear Community,

we have created a Fiori Elements application handling approvals on Workzone Admin privileques on Workspace Level. The application works fine as off now, but we are facing an issue while executing an actions on a sub entity (navigation) to update the parent entity:

After execution of the actions the first side effect to update the Approvals is triggered correctly:

Requests in batch call:

But indeed we need to update the navigation entities of the other navigations as well. But no side effect is beeing triggered.

I already found very helpfull posts, but nothing helped:

• https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-blogs-by-sap/cap-with-fiori-elements-side-effects-custom-act...
• https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/topic/61cf21d50ed34cbf888713496c618904

I already tried follwing side effect in main "Workspaces" entity:

• Try updating entities on property change
  
• Update all Navigation on change in any other Navigation
  
• Update OpenTasks Property after updating one of the depending navigations
  
• Tried also to address parent entity in action SideEffect, but this seems not to work

All changed had no effect on the batch calls / updates on the entity level. Maybe I am doing something wrong

Any hint is welcome

Thanks

I solved the issue by myself following the extension guide here:

https://github.com/NL4B/Workshop-Fiori-Elements/blob/master/141.%20-%20UI5%20controller%20-%20Use%20...

I simply added an action handler performing an update of all bound elements:

Not the best solution i ever saw, but it is a solution 😉

Any hints ore recommendations how to solve that using SideEffects are still welcome
