I am using ActionLists to build a set of useful functions; each ActionList typically takes Action List Parameters to act as my function input variables. I want to use these functions in other projects. Ideally, I would use an Include Project Action set to run the specific Action List required. However, these do not allow Action List Parameters to be set. I am therefore forced to copy my ActionLists into each project as needed; the issue being that, while I can easily copy in the actions via cut & paste, I have to manually create all the Action List Parameters first. Is there a better way of doing this?
Ideally, I'd either like Include Project Actions to allow setting Action List Parameters or the ability to easily cut and paste an ActionList from one project to another.
Hi,
Instead of using Action List parameters in a utility project you can revert to using project variables (which can be grouped), this will allow you to use the Include Project action to run action lists. Alternatively, you can always have a look at creating custom actions using Action Studio though that will depend on what your action lists are doing.

Thanks Paul - this will work for me. In my project with the Action Lists, I have created the project variables with groups named after each of the action lists, so its obvious which variables are parameters for which action lists. I am then using the Include Project Action in the main project to specify the appropriate action and can set its project variables directly in the Include Project Action. Not quite as elegant as being able to directly set ActionList parameters, but it works for me.
