grouped action does not execute all actions

Hi,

I have a grouped action which does not execute all actions,

There are action which call actions for another table, could this be the problem?

Does your grouped action include an action that deletes a row from your parent table?

If your grouped action includes either a navigation action (App: go to ...) or an action that deletes the row, no actions after will be performed.

thank you @Steve and I think if an action has a confirmation message which is answered with "no", the following actions will not be processed, isn't it?

Very good point. 

I didn't give it a try, but I remember (not certain) that an action with a Deletion makes the group to stop being completed as well, as @scott192 mentionned.

I'm waiting for @Steve 's confirmation for all off these tracks ๐Ÿ™‚

I just asked a complementary information on this documentation:

Actions: The Essentials - AppSheet Help

 

If you've got a grouped action with 4 actions, and for some reason action no2 fails then it will not perform actions 3 or 4.  To diagnose you might have to make all 4 action buttons visible and manually trigger each one to find the culprit.

thank you @1minManager 

If you have delete row or naviate to other view inside your grouped actions, then the rest of action inside your group action never get fired.

If you dont have any action in terms of navigation to other view, but the delete row action, then create automation to trigger the actions you are currently set inside grouped action affter delete.

Interestingly, the automation remember the state of the deleted row to do a bits and pieces, while the grouped action will forget all.

I believe that is correct.

No @Steve, no as confirmation answer belongs to an individual action and not to the grouped action

If the row deleted is the row from which the group action was launched, then yes, further processing of the group will stop with the deletion.
