How to refresh DNS record editor?

Site Feedback

When logged in to the web interface and in a domain, i.e. looking at the list of RRsets with a URL similar to https://desec.io/domains/example.com, I have sometimes found myself wanting to refresh the view.

Reason:
If while editing, an API call changes records, that change is not reflected in the UI. So the user might be seeing stale data in the UI.

Problem:
I found no refresh UI element. And using the browser refresh destroys the login credentials requiring a relogin. The only method I found was to go back to the list of domains and then click on the domain again. However that is not very user-friendly as it looses state such as scroll position and requires several steps.

Is there a better way to initiate a refresh?

Thanks!

See if checking the “remember me” box at the login form enables you to reload the page while staying logged in.

Also, what changes aren’t immediately reflected in the domain view? Fixing that would provide for the best user experience, IMHO.

Best,
Nils

It does, thanks!

That solves the problem for me.

The changes to the A/AAAA records when they are updated by the IP Update API are not reflected without a manual refresh. If I have the list of domain RRsets open in the browser when the API updates the records, nothing indicates in the browser that the data is now stale. I have not tested what happens when the REST API is used.
