[Beta] New REFRESH groupstate keywords does not work in Flat View

Help & Support
1

Added groupstate and nogroupstate keywords for the Go REFRESH command, allowing you to override the Preserve group expansion state on refresh option.

This does not seem to work with groups inside flat view.

Scenario:

File Displays / Options / Preserve group expansion state on refresh = ON

I now expect Go REFRESH=nogroupstate to disregard this option and always uncollapse any groupings on refresh.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a folder
  2. Enable flat view (eg. Set FLATVIEW=On,Mixed or Set FLATVIEW=On,MixedNoFolders)
  3. Collapse a group
  4. Refresh via Go REFRESH=nogroupstate
  5. The group stays collapsed

[Seems to work fine in stored queries though (which are kind of similar to flat view, but not technically I guess), but I digress.]

UPDATE:

Group expansion states in flat view seems to always be remembered on a refresh, even with File Displays / Options / Preserve group expansion state on refresh = OFF and regardless of using nogroupstate or groupstate.

Is this a separate option/feature that I've missed maybe..?

Thanks, fixed in the next beta.

Works great in 13.20.5 (Beta)!

Flat view now respects the global setting, and both REFRESH keywords work accordingly.
