Ability to set delayed sync per action or event

[wmadiano]

Request for a feature to explicitly set the delayed sync per action or event.
There are instances where you just need to send a request to the server without needing to immediately sync.
But there are also instances where you need to send an action to the server and immediately get the result for further processing.

Thanks

Im pretty sure background sync and forced sync are just as fast…?

Not a bad idea. Perhaps a simple toggle switch for Form views and Actions that’ll force a sync upon saving/running.

For now though, you can probably setup a workaround. Set delayed sync as the default behavior for your app. Then for any Action that you need to force a sync, set it up as a Grouped Action, and run a “go to view…” Action at the end that includes the proper URL parameter that’ll force the sync. Find that parameter in this great post:
