now I have more info - as mentioned above, my view page was requiring a refresh after postback in order to get the new lookup value from the related @OneToOne model: #{ticketHome.instance.ticketPriorityLookup.name} however.... when I replace it with this: #{ticketHome.instance.priorityLevelId} - it displays the correct value in the view page without needing the refresh..... so now my problem is: how do I force it to go get the lookup value for #{ticketHome.instance.ticketPriorityLookup.name} without needing a page refresh ??
