3 months ago An update to this: I just noticed that this ONLY applies to Promoted Action Groups.
Repro code:
page 50100 PageName
{
Caption = 'PageCaption';
Editable = false;
PageType = List;
ApplicationArea = All;
UsageCategory = Lists;
SourceTable = Customer;
layout
{
area(Content)
{
repeater(GroupName)
{
field(Name; Rec.Name)
{
}
}
}
}
actions
{
area(Processing)
{
group(RegularGroup)
{
ShowAs = SplitButton;
action(ActionName)
{
Caption = 'ActionCaption';
ApplicationArea = All;
trigger OnAction()
begin
Message('Hello World');
end;
}
action(ActionName2)
{
Caption = 'Action2Caption';
ApplicationArea = All;
Scope = Repeater;
trigger OnAction()
begin
Message('Hello World');
end;
}
action(PromotedActionName2)
{
Caption = 'PromotedAction2Caption';
ApplicationArea = All;
Scope = Repeater;
trigger OnAction()
begin
Message('Hello World');
end;
}
}
group(SecondGroup)
{
ShowAs = SplitButton;
action(SecondActionName)
{
Caption = 'SecondActionCaption';
ApplicationArea = All;
trigger OnAction()
begin
Message('Hello World');
end;
}
action(SecondActionName2)
{
Caption = 'SecondAction2Caption';
ApplicationArea = All;
Scope = Repeater;
trigger OnAction()
begin
Message('Hello World');
end;
}
}
}
area(Promoted)
{
group(Category_DEMO)
{
ShowAs = SplitButton;
actionref(PromotedActionName2_Promoted; PromotedActionName2)
{
}
}
}
}
}
The only thing disturbing me here is the auto generated caption for the promoted action group:

When having the ShowAs property on an Action Group set to
SplitButton, the Caption property is not needed on the group. LC0016 handles this in a nice way.But I just discovered that if an action inside a
SplitButtonAction Group has the Scope set toRepeater, the Caption is needed for the context menu on the line, otherwise an autogenerated caption i displayed in the context menu (in my example, the actions are promoted, hence theCategory_prefixes):So, to my suggestion: Add a new condition for LC0016, to require Caption on Page Action Group if they have
SplitButtonspecified and the action Scope is set toRepeater. (Note that this should apply both to action groups in the promoted action area, as on regular action groups)
