Description
Refresh Object does not support repetition numbers when updating the visibility state of an object with a hidden condition.
If the specified object is in a portal, Refresh Object updates the object in every visible portal row.
If the repetition calculation returns zero, or the expression does not exist, all repetitions are refreshed.
Example 1
Allows the user to log in to a different account and updates the visibility state of the Confidential object. The Confidential object hides when the user is not logged in to the Admin account.
