Custom Action fields erasing when name of action is changed

Hi, I've noticed next problem:
  • 1. From Custom Actions Page add a new Custom Action (for ex. "Set installer property")
    2. An entry with name "Set installer property" will appear in a list on Existing Custom Actions tab.
    3. Write some data in Property and/or Value fields.
    4. Change the name of your Custom Action (currently it has "Set installer property" name) to another one.
    5. Select again your newly renamed Custom Action and you'll see that Property and Value fields are again set to default values.
It would be nice if renaming woudn't (just after creation) cause data fields erasing back to default values.

Thanks.
Dan

Re: Custom Action fields erasing when name of action is chan

Hello,

I'm not sure why you encountered this behavior. I've tested your scenario but I cannot reproduce it.
Can you please send us the .AIP (project file) to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate it? If it contains confidential information you can send us a small test project which reproduce this behavior.

Also, can you please tell us if you can replicate the behavior in a new project?

Best regards,
Dan

Re: Custom Action fields erasing when name of action is chan

I've made a little video, captured from my desktop, so you can see what's actually is going on there and send it to address provided.
I don't think that sending you a project will help somehow, because it's a behavior issue of user interface (I think so). But if you'll still need it I send it tou you.
