Hello

I would like on one single button launch 2 actions :

1/ Update the number of a a column  
2/ Activate a boolean

However when I create a new action on the button it creates a new button aside on the same line whereas I would like a 2nd action being triggered.  
On the screen you see that red action is linked to the red button & the 2nd action (green) automatically creates a button (the green one).

Is it possible that one button trigger 1 or multiple actions on the same button ?

Thank you

You will need to write your own action… which you can choose by clicking on the action and then choosing “Actions for…” Choose “Create new action” and then add the logic you need.

Isn’t that the same action (Set Column Values) in both cases?  
Why can’t you do both in a single action? (or are the values in different tables?)

But yes, creating a Custom Action is the way to chain multiple actions, as @AdamMartin pointed out.
