TimeTrackerComponent: Reload tracker every N seconds about stundenstein HOT 4 CLOSED

The problem is that when the reload is finished while the user is changing some data it would get overwritten by the reload.. @4pp-Engine: any idea on how to prevent that behaviour?

from stundenstein.

You could show a dialog (like ErrorDialog) In/which you explain to the user, that the data has beem changed outside the app und inside the app and let the user choose which of both he wants to keep.
(Show the data of both, so he can see the difference)

Or you override the local data by the data of the server.
I think it should be clear, that the user should modify the data on different places..

I don't think the first idea works in this case, because what should happen when for example the tracker has been stopped from outside and the user selects to keep the data.. That would cause unneccessary conflicts etc..

Second solution is what I wanted to do.. I just have to take care that those updates don't interfere with updates the user sends to the APIs (like stopping, modifiying etc).. Then I should be able to compare the server data with the local each field seperately and only change the local value to the server value if different (and if the system isn't updating anything via the APIs in that moment)
