Solved: Inline Action showing in Map display selected item... - Page 2

I created a map view showing locations of technicians and the days work order Job Sites. When tapping on a Job Site, I am presented with the normal data row at the bottom of the map shown in Deck View style. I see the actions associated with the work order BUT I also see an Inline Action that basically is a Dup. It shown as green coins in the view just so I can differentiate it from the normal Pay Action. See image below.

I created the Inline action to show in a table on a Dashboard view so the Action can be taken without having to drill into the row.

My main screen is a deck view and DOES NOT show the Inline Action so I have to ask if the appearance of the Inline Action in the Map selected item row is a bug? Anyone have a guess or the answer?

Below, the green dollar and the green coins are basically the same Action - one is Display Prominently while the other is Display Inline.

EDIT: Forgot to mention when I tap on the row below the map, I get a Detail View and the Inline Action is NOT shown.

I think I have answered my own question.

Playing with other form factors doesn’t make this evident, but when I access the app from an iPhone 7 which is a bigger screen, I see more actions listed which are the default Inline Actions for Calling, Chatting and Driving Directions (which was also shown above).

So the answer seems to be that this is by design to attempt to show all available Actions regardless of display mode.

NOTE: There is a limit on the number of Actions displayed. In the editor form factor, 5 is the max. On an iPhone 7, 8 seems to the max. I have opened a Feature Request (a while ago) to expand this max as there is clearly room for additional Actions.

So the solution to my problem seems to be to add logic to NOT show the Inline Action on the Map display.
