AlertService directive in JHipster

Question

I am using JHipster 3.3.0 and generated code using JDL.

Out of the box, each entity has its own popup dialog page for editing and saving data, i.e. {entity}-dialog.html. And after clicking the Save button, the dialog will close then the entity list page (i.e. {entity}s.html) will display the alert message 'A new <entity name> is created/updated with identifier {primary key}' to indicate outcome of save by using <jhi-alert-error></jhi-alert-error>.

Now I am implementing a one-to-many relationship for 2 entities, say User and Account(i.e. a User can have many Accounts) such that the editing and saving of both entities happen in the same User page(i.e. User-dialog.html).

All Accounts of the User are displayed in an Account table, each row of the table will have a Save button to save data of the Account after editing the data in the row.

This is all working fine. However, I noticed after clicking the Save button of Account row, I can see the background User list page displaying the alert message mentioned above rather then in the current page.

I can't figure out how to display the alert message in the current page as opposed in the entity list page, which is the default behavior.

I am missing some logic here. Any idea?

Basically, the <jhi-alert-error></jhi-alert-error> in my <entity>-dialog.html page is ignored and won't display message for outcome of successful save except for error message from Form validation.

Thanks in advance,

Sam

Ooops,silly me. Just found the answer.

The alert message 'A new is created/updated with identifier {primary key}' was displayed because the tag <jhi-alert></jhi-alert> was used, it was never <jhi-alert-error></jhi-alert-error>.
