Renaming action list parameters

FinalBuilder Bugs

Seems that when you rename an action list parameter, all calls to that action list lose their stored value for that parameter.

Might just happen when the action list parameter shares a name with a normal variable.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for reporting this, but I’m afraid I can’t reproduce it. Are there any more details you can give me?

I’m guessing that you mean the parameter value in the “Run Action List” action property page disappears, right?

  1. Create variable Foo
    2. Create action list Moo
    3. Add action list parameter to Moo, called Foo
    4. In main action list, create “run action list” action that calls Moo, with the value “Gloo” as parameter Foo.
    5. In Moo, rename Foo to Boo.
    6. Open the “run action list” action again - the stored value for that parameter is lost from the property page.

    (Incidentally, after step 5, you can see via the Action Inspector that the name hasn’t been updated in the Run Action List step: the parameters are still listed as “Foo=Gloo”)

Hi Steve,

Ah, right. I misread your post and thought the problem was when you were renaming the action list, not the parameter. Sorry.

I’ll see if we can provide a workaround/fix for this behaviour.

PS Nice names.
