Parent Table View Updation From child fxml

Question

Scenario: I have a parent window called EditClientDeatils.fxml and have a TableView on this. I am editing these row result by creating another window named UserDetails.fxml and populating the row data to this FXML fields, now after editing from my second window , If I save I need to update the parent table with latest data.I tried something like below and not refreshing the table at all. But when I debugged my table list is updated with latest Data and not showing that in Window. So How can I update my table view from different controller ?

In Child Window I am loading the parent like this.

FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("EditClientDetails.fxml"));
                EditClientDetailsController fooController = (EditClientDetailsController) fxmlLoader.getController();
                try {
                    fxmlLoader.load();
                } catch (IOException ex) {
                    Logger.getLogger(NewUserController.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
                }

And in my parent class initialize method having below code:

@Override public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {

    fNameCol.setCellValueFactory(
            new PropertyValueFactory<AtUser, String>("clientFirstName"));
    lNameCol.setCellValueFactory(
            new PropertyValueFactory<AtUser, String>("clientLastName"));
    addressCol.setCellValueFactory(
            new PropertyValueFactory<AtUser, String>("clientAddress"));
    mobileCol.setCellValueFactory(
            new PropertyValueFactory<AtUser, String>("clientMobileNumber"));
    emailCol.setCellValueFactory(
            new PropertyValueFactory<AtUser, String>("clientEmailID"));
    catagoryCol.setCellValueFactory(
            new PropertyValueFactory<AtUser, String>("clientTypeCode"));
    genderCol.setCellValueFactory(
            new PropertyValueFactory<AtUser, String>("gender"));

    editSaveAction.setSortable(false);

    editSaveAction.setCellValueFactory(
            new Callback<TableColumn.CellDataFeatures<AtUser, Boolean>, 
            ObservableValue<Boolean>>() {

        @Override
        public ObservableValue<Boolean> call(TableColumn.CellDataFeatures<AtUser, Boolean> p) {
            return new SimpleBooleanProperty(p.getValue() != null);
        }
    });

     editSaveAction.setCellFactory(
            new Callback<TableColumn<AtUser, Boolean>, TableCell<AtUser, Boolean>>() {

        @Override
        public TableCell<AtUser, Boolean> call(TableColumn<AtUser, Boolean> p) {
            return new ClientButtonCell(customerTable);
        }

    });
    // Add filtered data to the table

    customerTable.setItems(filteredData);

    // Listen for text changes in the filter text field
    filterField.textProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<String>() {
        @Override
        public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends String> observable,
                String oldValue, String newValue) {

            updateFilteredData();
        }
    });

}

When I am debugging

customerTable.setItems(filteredData);

this filteredData is containing my required data but not coming on Window. please point out if I missed anything.

I had the same issue, and found this work arround it, to force it to refresh.

table.getColumns().get(0).setVisible(false);
table.getColumns().get(0).setVisible(true);

After modifing the table items list.
