I have some actions depending on Session Active Record ID, but it seems they are firing before the screen gets a record ID

Just get this

Hi Mahlon,

Can you try adding a button for displaying this variable after your action set has completed? I’d like to know if the result is any different.

The end of the action set takes you to a new screen with same record id. This did not work

Hi Mahlon,

What about if you remove the Go To Screen action? I need to know if it’s an issue with timing or if the value isn’t being returned correctly at all in this scenario.

The screen is now live in working for the client.I don't really have time to do extra research. I could give you the account id offline if you want to loginand take a look.

Hi Mahlon,

Can you explain your action set to me? Why are you setting the active RecordID for the screen and retrieving it using the session variable in the same action set? There are other ways to get the RecordID such as within one of your Retrieve Value From Table actions or if you’re creating a new record, from within your Insert Record Into Table action.

Edit: Oops, I think I need a coffee. I assume you're saving a new record from the fields on screen. I'll see if I can replicate this, but let me know if you're doing something different.

Hi Mahlon,

I made some quick modifications to a copy of the New Activity screen to retrieve and show the active screen RecordID immediately after saving.

This is working as expected.

You may want to re-evaluate your action set, as I don’t think the issue has anything to do with the actions firing before the screen / record has a RecordID.

I hope this helps.

I'll try it again on another project sometime. Thanks
