Two solutions: - make your FooList.xhtml page non-conversational as is the normal case, I don't know why that would be a conversational screen - "Instead of a "new" widget, we're editing an old one." Even if you stay inside the same conversation that should not happen if you pass the identifier of the edited item correctly from the list to the edit screen.
