You can also use any action that returns a value or record as a parameter in other actions. However, the respective parameter type must support this function.
Things to know
-
You can nest actions as deeply as you like and therefore add more actions as parameters in all actions that are already used as parameters.
-
If the selected parameter supports return values of actions, you can add a new action as a parameter of the existing action in the Edit Action dialog using the icon under Parameter.
-
If you use the return of an action for a parameter of type SELECT, the returned value must be present in the value set of the parameter that was defined in the action.
Here's how
-
Click on the component to whose actions you would like to add another action as a parameter.
-
In the Edit Action dialog, select the corresponding action under Type.
-
Enter a name for the action under Name to easily identify this action elsewhere.
-
Define the parameters under Parameters. If required, you can define another new action as a parameter by clicking on the icon.
-
Click on Apply to apply the new action as a parameter. Alternatively, you can also use the key combination CTRL+S.
To save the changes in the app permanently, please also save the app.
Tip
If you have edited several actions, you can apply all edited and still open actions at the same time:
-
Expand the Apply button and click on Apply All.
-
Use the key combination for Apply All: CTRL+ALT+S.
