Is there a debug mode or logging mode to help troubleshoot problems with Actions? I have an action sequence kicked off by a text change event and nothing is happening.  I've added a Message to the beginning of the Action Sequence to see if any of the sequence is getting kicked off, but the message is not showing. This is being used in ...

  I am creating some logic on the Sales Order screen to automatically calculate pricing based on the line item Quantity.  I am using Text Change events on both the Item field and the Quantity field.  The idea is to update all of the pricing data when the Item changes and then calculate the pricing whenever the Quantity ...

That makes sense, but the action sequence of the On Screen Load event still looks a bit clunky and just setting the value to null would be cleaner instead of using the conditional statement.  I can see why this would be necessary though.

 Michael, The scenario I am trying to solve is described at the beginning of my first post.  For further clarification, I am creating some logic for updating Sales Order Line Items in the line items grid when entering a Sales Order. After the Item is selected a series of actions retrieves values from the Items table and populates Sales ...

Well, nevermind. I think I've answered my own question, or at least confirmed the limits of Action Results.  The Show Message action will only support the use of Action Results referenced in the same action sequence.  It also does not allow direct usage of a Shared Result, so presumably the Shared Result would need to be passed into ...

I would like to use the action Retrieve Value from Table on a Text Change event of a field in a grid and then use the result in an Action Sequence tied to another field in the Grid on the SAME screen, and SAME row. For example I would like to retrieve the Item Type upon a text change event on the field Item in a grid, then I would like to use the ...

Denis, Thanks for the reply.  I can understand what you're saying about the answer being related to customized Actions. For example the Customer screen in Method uses an Action sequence to replicate the value from Name into FullName and also the Bill To Name field.  The FullName field is also configured as Read Only to enforce an ...

Denis, I have seen Method correctly append a number to a QB custom field to avoid a naming conflict within Method table field names.  I had a field named "Customer" in my Items table, and thankfully Method appended a number to this field and in every case it looks like Method protects the user from violating QB field ...

Paul, The "Load Web Page" solution could be a clever workaround.  I thought that possibly there might be a way to use an action to send the Attachment to the Web Browser to be opened, but I can't find an action that passes the Attachment data into another web session.  I would like to be able to keep the Attachments in ...

IJA, Did you ever get an answer to this or find a solution? I am trying to do something similiar.  I have engineering drawings in pdf format that I want to attach to Item records.  The Attachment object type appears to have no other functionality than attaching the file.  It recognizes pdf file type and presents an Adobe icon, ...
