Yeah, I got the 'button as subroutine' thing working right after posting last night. Piece of cake. No code/logic duplication here...Thx again.

Blake-

Matts suggestion is a good one, its actually better in a lot of cases because you only need to change actions in one location.

I will however put in a ticket to have this added to Method.

Thanks for the feedback. I kind of thought about hacking some sort of element like a button to do exactly that....poor man's Method subroutine.

I'll give it a shot. Thx again

Blake I echo your frustrations that this is not available.

A work around that I found was to create a hidden button on the screen with the necessary actions. Then use the 'Call another action' action to call the button from the grid.

Hope that helps!

Copy Grid Actions

It seems neither the 'Actions After Edit' nor the 'Actions After Add' action steps can be copied or referenced from other actions in a grid.

I have identical logic for a grid in both the After Edit and After Add action sets. I need this same logic to be duplicated again (ugh) when a link on a grid row is clicked (the link deletes the current grid record).

It sure would be nice if I could copy these action steps (rather than recreating the same exact steps in another place again)...or better yet save these action sequences and reference them like a subroutine elsewhere on the page.

Am I missing something or is this just a feature request that needs to be suggested?

Thanks...
