I have a page that has a table in the center, this table is refreshed every 30 seconds using the p:poll
<p:poll interval="30" update=":centro" />
The problem is that I have a menu that opens a popup (modal) with a form to be populated. If the user is filling in this form and the update of the pool occurs, then everything the user entered is lost. >
Is there any way to not update in this mode?
I've tried to leave the mode out of the "center" but it did not work.
This is expected behavior, since the HTML of the updated element and its children is replaced by a new one in the update event.
If the modal was out of the center it should not have been closed. Did you try to use the appendTo="@body" attribute?
However, if attributes of the ManagedBean are changed that the modal form uses, it will be out of sync with the backend.
The only easy solution I see for this scenario would be to disable / enable poll when the user open and close the edit.
