Navigation to content pages containing nested dmx-form-repeat is very slow

Hello,

I have a content page that uses dmx-form-repeat element to add or update Workorders (WO).

When creating a new WO, the repeat rows perform well since the user is already on the content page.

The issue arises when editing an existing WO; navigating to the content page can take several seconds to load, depending on how many product rows have been entered in the WO. The editing process of a WO (via an inline flow) works as below:

  • On the Dashboard page - click the Edit button to open the content page containing WO form with a nested form-repeat element
  • A DataDetail is set with the workorder_id to populate the form with the WO header and product records (form-repeat)
  • Browse to the workorder content page - At this point, the system appears to freeze while the content page loads and populates the records. The lag increases with the number of product rows in the WO.

Previously, there was a slight lag between clicking to navigate and the page loading (before v7.4.0), but now the UI almost seems to freeze in the latest versions.

Is it a bug, or is there another approach to achieve a smoother navigation for the users? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
