UI Action Quick Action

We strongly discourage users from using UI Action quick actions with Composite Action quick actions. This configuration is not supported as it produces inconsistent results.

When using the UI Action quick action within the Composite Action quick action, please note:

• The UI Action quick action relies on the UI commands in the browser, not the server side.
• Non-UI quick actions rely on server side quick actions.
• The UI Action quick action is built as asynchronous. Send the request and return immediately (without waiting) to the composite framework to continue other actions.
• Use the UI Action quick action within a Composite Action quick action at your own risk. This procedure is not recommended as it could cause unexpected results.

Limitations

• Canceling the UI Action quick action does not cancel the remaining actions defined in the Composite Action quick action.
• Create the UI Action quick action as the last action (Highly recommended).
• Use only one UI Action quick action in a Composite Action quick action. Multiple actions will probably produce unintended results.
