Posted on by kayc529

Hi everyone. I am new to Business Central and AL programming. I am now learning and following the learning path provided by Microsoft.

I have a Demo Page as follow:

And my DemoPageExt:

I want my second action to be placed after the first action so I use addafter(FirstAction). However, the second action is not showing on my Demo Page:

Application version: 24.4.22295.22393

Runtime: 13.1

What have I done wrong??? I have spend hours reading tutorials on actions and page extension and still wasn't able to solve the issues.

I am slowly losing my sanity. Please help, thank!!!!!!!

Hi,

Try this, you were missing actionref.

pageextension 60106 DemoPageExt extends DemoPage { actions { addafter(FirstAction) { action(SecondAction) { Caption = 'Second Action'; ApplicationArea = All; Image = CalendarMachine; ToolTip = 'This is my second action'; } } addlast(Promoted) { actionref(SecondAction_Promoted; SecondAction) { } } } }

The reason is simple. If there is nothing running in the action, such as a trigger or runobject property, the action will not be displayed.
This is the behavior since NAV. You can add a message like the first action, and you can see it.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
