Avatar

Not applicable

After trying to "debug" my form for a while, I realised the action builder deletes randomly actions from the action builder when there are more than 15.

I can't find any documentation mentionning this, no error message popping up, no way to add more than 15 actions I builing a form that requires at least 30 actions. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! thanks in advance

Once you have 15 actions built:

1) Select the top most subform in your Hierarchy palette

2) Open up your script editor. Because you probably never use it, it will be docked to the top of your design view. You'll want to drag it out of there so it's in its own window.

3) On the top left of your script editor select Show: "Events with Scripts", immedialely to the right theres a button with a plus sign. Make sure that's toggled.

4) You will see all the code in all your objects that have script. You'll also notice a lot of that code is green. That is commented out code that Designer recognises as script generated from the action builder. Delete all the green script. Make sure you get the green //- at the end of every event too.

You'll notice all the actions are gone from the action builder but they're still working in the form. At least now you can add more actions without having them get deleted by whatever bug designer has.

There's no limit that I know of, and it shouldn't be deleting actions...there may be some corruption, does it happen if you try it in a new document?

I haven't used the action builder much though, it's fairly limited and creates a lot of overhead.

I'm pretty new to LiveCycle and it did happenned on a form I built from scratch. I'm not great at scrtpting so I use the action builder... Everytime I add a 16th action on there and save, it deletes one of the options previously created. VERY frustrating!
