Hello  
anyone ideas for _custom actions_ naming conventions?

how do you name your actions? is it simply by the function they perform… or do you mention or refer to the tab or screen where the action was called as well.

with soo many actions in apps and so many duplication going on to test or update tabs. I start to feel its good to refer to the tab or screen where the the action component lies.

only if you are on the same sheet, otherwise it will break relations and data structure… you can achieve similar effect by simply hiding elements and using same table

Usually I just go with whatever they function they perform, but it would be a good idea to add the tab where the action happens.
