trying to refresh a grid after changing a AppVar

[llarge]

Hello Team,
I have been unsuccessfully trying to get a widget to refresh with a button helper program. The widget has a custom filter on it that uses a App Var. I thought if I update the App Var with the button program, and use SetResponse('refresh':'true'); the grid would update with the new filter. Am I wrong?
the custom filter is this,
let filter = getTo('EEEMPN') + ' in (' + getAppVar('traineeList') + ')';
return filter;
EEEMPN is the field and the traineeList is a string of employee numbers separated by commas. It works the first time the grid is loaded. I have a column icon on each row and on click, I'm running an RPG program that changes the traineeList (technically removes an employee number from the list). I just can't get it to do what I was hoping for. Any ideas?

When a widget is refreshed we don't regenerate the filters that were previously set because majority of the time it's based on a record from a clicked widget to filter another widget

I would recommend the button program fire an event and add an event listener in behaviors for that event. That listener would filter your widget like you're doing today pulling in the app variable that was set from the backend. No need to do the SetResponse('refresh':'true') since the filtering of a widget reloads its data

Hopefully that makes some sense

That works, Thanks Jonny.
