APEX

Hi all,

I’m facing an issue in APEX 24.2 where an Interactive Grid is not saved after a validation + branch flow that opens a Modal Dialog Page. What’s strange is that all normal form page items are saved correctly in the same flow, only the Interactive Grid is not.

Setup

• APEX 24.2
• Page 1 : multiple page items (form) + 1 Interactive Grid
• IG is saved via process: Save Interactive Grid Data (Type: NATIVE_IG_DML)

Flow

1. User changes values in the form + Interactive Grid on page 1
2. User clicks “Send” (normal submit) → server-side APEX validations run
3. If validations pass: a branch opens a Modal Dialog Page (separate page)
4. In the modal dialog page, the user clicks “Save”
5. After closing the dialog, page performs the final submit/request to send

Result

• Form/Page items are saved
• Interactive Grid is not saved
• Debug shows on the IG DML process:
  • Process "Save Interactive Grid Data" - Type: NATIVE_IG_DML
  • Skip because region doesn't contain rows

Observation

• If I remove the “branch → modal dialog page” step, saving form + IG on page 1 works fine.
• With the dialog/branch in between, it looks like the final request does not contain the IG row payload (“submitted rows”), so IG DML skips.

Questions

1. Is there a recommended APEX pattern for server-side validation → confirmation dialog (modal page) → final submit, when an Interactive Grid is involved?
2. How do you ensure the IG DML process actually receives submitted rows after returning from a dialog page (and does not show Skip because region doesn't contain rows)?

Thanks in advance!
