How to turn an action into a call behaviour?

[Julm]

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to turn an action into a call behaviour action? That would be a quite handy functionality...

Thanks for the help,

Julm

Yes,

Choose the kind of action in the advanced section. (in v9 via the properties dialog, before via a separate context menu)
You'll have to close the action before you can link an operation to the action.

Thanks Geert,

I am using EA 8.0.855. I have been looking for the separate context menu you talked about, but can't lay a hand on it. Could you indicate me where I can find it?

There is indeed a command in the advanced sub-menu of the call behaviour's context menu which allows changing the Behaviour Classifier, but this command is not available if the element is a simple action.

Julm,

I'm not sure about it in 8.0. I think it was Advanced Properties or Custom Properties something like that.
You should be able to find the topic in the help if you look for "Action" or "Kind" or "CallOperation" or something like that.

Geert,

Yes indeed I found it. I did make a quick search in the help before I asked on this forum, but couldn't find anything ...

But I found it in the context menu, sub-menu "advanced/custom properties", modifying the property "kind".

I have to admit I already saw that window but I thought it had to do with quantity kinds and value types ...

Anyway, thank you for the guidance!
