In a referenced action i have an [_input] setup as text. [_input].[item]
within the display name expression for that action i used [_input].[item] to create a relevant input dialog display name. The expression editor allows me to use it and i see no errors however in practice within the app the display name expression can not see the [_input] value i passed
I have it setup this way and i am testing in Desktop mode
Action 1 - Execute on rows
Trigger Action 2 on (refList)
Value to Pass via Input: "item" = someText
Action 2 - set values of Column
fieldName: rateAmount = [_input].[amount]
Inputs Assigned
input1: name = amount | type = decimal
input2: name = item | type = text
Display Name = "Updating rate for " & [_input].[item]
The action is modifying a value on a row in another table (rateValue) which in turn updates the current row amount but that part isn't an issue. The input dialog in this case has no context of the action that triggered it, which makes sense. I was hoping to use the inputs as a way to bring over context in the same way they can be used in the columns that are being edited, however the display name for that action can not see the [_input] fields even though the expression allows them.
I tried going through support, waiting on an escalated reply. So i figured I would bring attention here also.
At the end of the day I am just looking to get clarity on whether this is a bug or if they are certain this functionality was never intended anyway?
