MOSS 2007 List WebPart not refreshing. RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi all,

    I had created a simple list in MOSS 2007 with "Title" and "Number", I created a simple view "My View" setting a filter for a specific "Number" on the list and it works perfectly fine. I then created a List Webpart on my Home Page setting the view as "My view" - till this point everything is perfect, I tried to change the filter value of the Number and the list works fine but the List webpart on the Home page will not refresh until unless i manually edit the webpart and set the view again.

    Please ask for any clarification, Any help would be appreciated.

  • When you select the view in the Webpart configuration, the web part copies the view configuration. I mean, it uses the view as a template. So, it doesn't matter if you change the original view, the webpart is not going to change. That's the behavior by design.
