Hi, I noticed that when form items caching is disabled, the edit button that usually allows to edit the interactive app forms with the former parameters will no more allow you to restore those that are not cached.

Even though this behavior can be meaningful in some circumstances, we’re disabling caching all together, with `OOD_BATCH_CONNECT_CACHE_ATTR_VALUES=false`. Then the `edit` button is not restoring at all the form from the former session, but a complete new form with all the default values appears. Yet, we’d find it useful to have caching disabled when loading apps from the menus or from the “Pinned Apps” widget, while still being able to recall the parameters from an old session with the “Edit” button.

Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks!

I’ll need to look into this - it seems to me that what you want is what the system should be doing. So there could be a bug here.
