I have just encountered a phenomenon
in the Shared Actions view in a database:
In this database an action to create
New Shared Actions Notes exists and - even more interesting - an ID column!
And its even getting better: You can
alter the Action ID in the properties of a Shared Action!
Typically we use a kind of repository,
a master template database, from which all application specific templates
inherits common design elements. When you create a new template and copy
some forms or views from other database, sometimes the Shared Actions in
these design elements become "screwed up": Instead of "Edit"
there is "Forward" etc. The cause is simple: the ID of the Shared
Actions in both databases do not fit. But you cannot easily see or alter
them...
But after I had seen, that there must
be a "secret switch" to get the IDs visible and alterable, I
have googled for some time and found .... nothing!
The field properties of the Shared Actions
document were the same in this database and mine.
Even the database properties seemed
to be nearly the samem, at least there was nothing, which should cause
this difference.
But then I have found it: The other
database was multilingual. Thus I made my database multilingual, too:
And lo and behold! Instantly I could
see the action and the ID column and could change the Action ID in the
properties of the Shared Actions.
