Suggestion box updates the model

[rhasselbaum]

It seems that a <rich:suggestionbox> updates the model whether I want it to or not. Is there a way to disable this behavior so that the model is only updated if the user explicitly submits the form? I tried setting bypassUpdates="true", but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Here is my code:

<rich:suggestionbox for="validatingCity:city" suggestionAction="#{townSuggestion.suggest}"
 var="suggest" minChars="2" eventsQueue="suggest" requestDelay="200"
 ignoreDupResponses="true" bypassUpdates="true">
<h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{suggest}"/>
</h:column>
</rich:suggestionbox>

if you use old version - you should set ajaxSingle="true".. In newest version this attribute = true by default. So only the input model value updated.

That's the problem. I don't want any values to be updated in the model--including the one bound to the suggestion box. Reason being, I'm using the suggestion box in a dialog box-style interaction. So the user can make changes to different fields, and then click "OK" or "Cancel" to continue. If the user clicks cancel, it should cancel all of the edits. But that's not happening for the suggestion box.

So would ajaxSingle="false" be appropriate for this situation then?

Also, do you use immediate=true on your cancel button?

just point this input to some temporary property and save it on Ok pressed.
