Block content not updating when having preview but AllPropertiesView as default

Hi all!

I added block preview functionality according to http://world.episerver.com/documentation/developer-guides/CMS/rendering/preview-rendering-for-blocks/ and having default AllPropertiesView according to http://world.episerver.com/Blogs/Linus-Ekstrom/Dates/2013/12/Customizing-the-look-and-behavior-in-the-UI-for-your-content-types/

The block values are not updated on the page after I change them.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Have a page with content area, edit one of the blocks that are already added
  2. You will be taken to the AllPropertiesView of the block
  3. Edit a property (for example: title)
  4. Publish the changes, you will see AllPropertiesView again (with the new value)
  5. Click 'Back' to go back to the page (page preview is the default - OnPageEditView)

Is this a good way to have block preview but also have AllPropertiesView as default for that block? How can I make the page preview to refresh?

Hi Dalibor,

Unfortunately, I am also facing the same issue. Did you get any solution to this issue? OR any other approach/recommendation is welcome.

Thanks,

Pravin
