Description

Apache Airflow version

3.1.6

If "Other Airflow 3 version" selected, which one?

No response

What happened?

Looks like this issue was not fixed https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/58928 - in Airflow 3.1.6 - the behavior is the same, with a small difference - when the task has been finished - button appears without a page refresh. But when the task is running - button is unavailable.

What you think should happen instead?

The button Triggered DAG should be available right after the child DAG is started (or queued) and not when the child DAG is finished, and the browser page is refreshed.

How to reproduce

Try any DAG with TriggerDagRunOperator as an example.

Research direction
The issue reports that the 'Triggered DAG' button is not shown while the child DAG is running, only after completion and page refresh. The previous attempt to fix this was in issue #58928, which appears incomplete. To resolve, investigate the TriggerDagRunOperator's UI component, likely in the Airflow UI codebase (e.g., `airflow/ui/`). Look for the logic that controls the visibility of the 'Triggered DAG' button based on the DAG run status. Check if the button's visibility is updated reactively when the DAG run state changes from queued to running. The fix likely involves ensuring the button appears immediately after the child DAG is triggered, without requiring a page refresh.
