Stole [this idea](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/alarm-journal-refresh/11311/3) and put an invisible “refresh” button next to the text box. Works nicely.

```python
if event.propertyName == 'text':
	button = event.source.parent.getComponent('Button 1')
	button.doClick()

```

```python
#current startDate
startDate = event.source.parent.parent.startDate

#add one minute and set the date to "refresh"
startDate = system.date.addMinutes(startDate, -1)
event.source.parent.getComponent('Container').getComponent('Popup Calendar').date = startDate

#subtract one minute and set the date to "refresh"
startDate = system.date.addMinutes(startDate, 1)
event.source.parent.getComponent('Container').getComponent('Popup Calendar').date = startDate

```
