Dialog return, partialTriggers and field updating

Question

I have a form that allows a user to bring up a dialog, allows them to select an item, and then populates the item id into a field on the original form (essentially an af:selectInputText).
What I need is for other fields on the form to update now that the field has been populated. I've tried configuring partialTriggers on the fields that need to update, but they don't seem to get notified.
In the returnHandler, I set the value of the field component, but that doesn't seem to be causing the trigger to fire. Here's that code:
public void handleCallerMemberIdReturn( ReturnEvent event ) {
String id = (String)event.getReturnValue();
if( id != null ) {
getCompCallerMemberId().setSubmittedValue( null );
getCompCallerMemberId().setValue( id );
Is there something else I need to do to make the framework realize the component has changed value and cause the partialTriggers to fire? Is there another way to accomplish this?
Thanks.

Ok, I've done that and I'm still seeing the same behavior. With a PhaseListener in place, I can see that the UPDATE MODEL phase is never invoked upon returning from the dialog. It goes from APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES to RENDER_RESPONSE, so none of the partialTriggers are working properly. Is there something else I need to do to make it go through the UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES phase after returning from a dialog?
Here's some debug output that shows the process:
At this point, we have just returned from the dialog with a member ID (m5 in this case) stored as the return value. On the 5th line you can see the output indicating that I've queued the ValueChangeEvent. The code for that is below the debug output.

05/02/20 11:42:49 renderView: /newReferralCase.jspx

05/02/20 11:42:49 >>> configure( /newReferralCase.jspx, repost=false )
05/02/20 11:42:49 AFTER PHASE: RENDER_RESPONSE 6
here's the code for the return listener:
public void handleCallerMemberIdReturn( ReturnEvent event ) {
String id = (String)event.getReturnValue();
CoreInputText comp = getCompCallerMemberId();
Object oldValue = comp.getValue();
if( id != null ) {
comp.setSubmittedValue( null );
comp.setValue( id );
// Create and queue a ValueChangeEvent
System.out.println("QUEUE VCE for id: " + id);
ValueChangeEvent vce = new ValueChangeEvent(comp, oldValue, id );
vce.queue();
So, the basic problem is that nothing else on the page updates after the dialog return.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
