I have a datatable and I load a modal for Edit data. But when I Edit and render the datatable nothing changed.

I mean I have a datatable and actions like delete and edit. When I press on edit I open modal then I edit the data on this modal then press Edit. As you see I make render for datatable but I can't see any changes in the datatable

The mistake is here:

<f:ajax render=":branchesForm:branchesListDiv,:branchesForm:branchEditArea, @this" ... />

The render and execute attributes of <f:ajax> are space separated, not comma separated.

<f:ajax render=":branchesForm:branchesListDiv :branchesForm:branchEditArea @this" ... />

Normally, this should have thrown an exception as detailed in this Q&A How to find out client ID of component for ajax update/render? Cannot find component with expression "foo" referenced from "bar", but since Mojarra 2.2.5 it stopped validating those attributes in order to support referencing a specific <ui:repeat> iteration round (issue-2958). Spec issue 1372 was started to address this nasty quickfix and to bring back the validation.

The comma separation is only supported in PrimeFaces <p:ajax> and this is most likely where your confusion came from. It supports both space and comma separation. It's strongly recommended to not use comma separation in <p:ajax> as it's in long term only confusing when you come back to <f:ajax>.
