G'Day,

Selecting a bunch of actions and extracting to an action list works well. A nice extension would be that in addition to prompting for the name also including a Yes/No as to whether the newly created action list should be called from the current location ie its replacing the selected actions after all.

Hi Donovan,   
  
 Thanks for the suggestion, that would be a good improvement to that refactor. I’ll put it on the to-do list for FinalBuilder.   
  
 Regards,   
 Paul.

This must still be on a TODO list somewhere :-). This functionality would be a good addition to FB 7.x
