Hi all.

I am facing an issue with an action on a page in a BC14. In C/Side i have two actions with the exact same name, but of course different ID's, as that is how C/Side tells them apart.

Now i need to disable both these actions from an extension, however in AL i can only use the "Modify(ActionName)" method to change an action. Right now my code looks like this:

modify("ActionName")

{

Enabled = false;

}

This only hides one of the two actions, the first one from the page designer in C/Side. How do i get rid of the last one, without changing the code in C/Side?

I have the same question (0)

Are they standard actions?

if yes, can you please let us know which page and which actions?

Microsoft is adding reasonable names to to all actions or the actions will have names with ids at the end.

Like action123 etc.

you have find the action with that id exist and use the same.

Sadly this is not standard actions - they are from a 3'rd party. They have not yet upgraded their code to work in extensions, so i merged their code into C/Side before we started Dev to be sure to have all symbols correct from the beginning.

From your answer i suppose you also think i am at a dead end, and need to add changes in C/Side?

There should not be 2 actions with the same name. Maybe this is already resolved in the application within the latest CU for BC 14 (currently CU 13, just released).

The only way is to change the name to a different one then regenerate symbols

If you have dev rights to the objects, I would suggest giving the two actions different names
