Overview

Bundled Actions is a grouping mechanism so that multiple actions can be triggered based on same action filter. The action filter applies to the bundle and all actions within the bundle are triggered when there is a match. Logically grouping actions into bundles is also useful for widgets that have a lot of actions to keep things organized.

Bundling actions together also makes it possible to reuse action configuration on another widget. While this is possible there are some caveats due to actions often being widget specific, data collection specific, or similar which means the actions may not work as expected when firing from the secondary widget.

It is not recommended to reuse action bundles on different widgets. Instead copy the widget which will make a complete copy of the actions, including the action bundle. Ensure to edit the new widget and rename the action bundle as it will have the same name as the original which can be confusing.
