Run an Action from an Expression

Is there a way to run an Behavior Action from an Expression?

For example, I want to run an Behavior -> Action, from a Columnโ€™s Initial Value Expression or Application Formula, etc?

This would avoid the need to copy and paste the Expression from the Behavior Action into the Columnโ€™s respective expression.

Nope.

Hmmm Odd. It would enable a considerable amount of reuse with an application.

I would like to see something like this for Actions, as there is for views:

help.appsheet.com - App Column Type (Deep Link)

One could make a similar type of reference. App Column Type (Deep Link) help.appsheet.com

What is your goal? I bet you can come up with a solution to do what you need some other way.

You can set an action to App: go to another view, then use a deep link expression as the target.

Reusable expressions that were complex to write. It is looking more like a feature request.

Perhaps, but if you donโ€™t describe your goal, youโ€™ll never know. Or maybe Iโ€™ll never knowโ€ฆ

I was going to wait a few days to see if there was any staff reply. But most likely I will need to make a feature request.
