SA-27143

Summary

A When Rule is used as a condition to trigger a local action.  The local action does not fire, if the when rule is updated to true - though it will fire after that (as if it's behind one step).

Error Messages

Not Applicable

Steps to Reproduce

Configure a non-action type control (such as text input) to use a Local Action with a When Rule condition.

​

Root Cause

This combination of configurations is not currently supported.  Since the action markup for the control is generated based on the When Rule's evaluation on section refresh / first load, it is effectivly behind one step in this use case (the When Rule is updated after the action markup is generated).

Resolution

Using a direct property reference, such as "Associated Property" or "Other Property," provides the necessary functionality and is the supported design for this use-case.  

Note: When using "Other Property" the property will need to be referenced as a hidden control in the section, so that it is included on the DOM and correctly triggers change tracking.
