Right click for action name

[Kirk_Masden]

It used to be possible to drag an action in the editor to find out what its name is:

Now what was the name of that action . . .? Tips & Tricks 💡

If you have lots of actions in your app it can be hard to remember what you called each one. Here’s a little trick to get the name of an action so that you can find it more easily in the editor: [Action name] If you “drag” your action inside the browser like this, you should be able to see the name, or at least the first part of it. By the way, I hope that someday AppSheet will make it possible to download and/or search the text of all actions, expressions, etc. in a given app to help us fig…

That trick, however, is no longer works.

If it’s an inline action, you can copy the text for the app’s page and then, when you paste it, you’ll have the action name. That doesn’t seem to be possible, however, with overlay or “display prominently” actions.

It would be very nice to be able to copy the name of the the action in the editor. Currently, if you right click on an action your get something link this, which doesn’t help you figure out what you called this action:

However, in normal HTML, a right click will allow you to copy the link:

So, perhaps AppSheet could be set up so that text containing the name of the action could be copied via a right click. If that would not be particularly hard to do, I think it would be very useful for people like me with complicated apps with lots of actions.

Thanks!

P.S. I would say that, considering both the number of reviews and the average rating on the web page I introduced above, AppSheet is the leader of the leaders for no code app building platforms in 2020! I’m making this feature request in the hope that AppSheet will continue to get more and more awesome.

This is no longer necessary because, in the new editor, we can easily identify actions pull up the editing interface for unmarked actions.  So, perhaps this idea should be marked "Delivered," though the resolution of the problem is somewhat different from what I proposed above.
