Description
Basically, the callback in add_meta_box is firing after I update my post (got the spinning circle in the meta box header), returning new updated html, but the new html is not applied to the actual page.
The following metabox just renders a random number:
<?php add_action('admin_init', function () { // Add our meta box for the "post" post type (default) if ( current_user_can("send_notifications") ) { $post_types = ["post", "go_live"]; foreach ($post_types as $post_type) { add_meta_box( 'cabtv_notif_on_post', 'Notifications', function ($post) { echo rand(); }, $post_type, 'side', 'high' ); } } });
After the post is published / updated, the metabox should regenerate and a new random number should display... presumably... otherwise why is it called?
I notice the entire wp-admin/post.php page is downloaded in the developer tools network tab after updating the post, and if I inspect the response I can see that the random number is different, however the original page remains the same.

TracTickets for help on using

I should say I'm not 100% sure if it's supposed to update the meta box html after updating the post, but I would assume so by the fact that that the spinner appears in the meta box header and only disappears once the html response from post.php is sent... and if not, I would appreciate someone telling me the correct way to update the meta box without reloading the page.
