ViewVariables

You can use ViewVariables to control which variables represent view objects that should be refreshed when a refreshView operation is executed from the workItemEdit.jsp page. In general, a refreshView operation reloads the view data from all of its sources such as resource adapters.

<!-- The userView variable should be refreshed during a refreshView -->
<ViewVariables>
   <List>
      <String>userView</String>
   </List>
</ViewVariables>

Use ViewVariables only when absolutely necessary for correct form and user interaction. This is option is seldom used.
