Category property from Action attribute in custom actions

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

Hi!

 

I've been creating my Custom Actions in c# successfully. By reading the docs (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/create-custom-actions), by using the Action Attribute, you can specify your action name, description and even a category to specify the path of your action. The question is, can you have a category (action path) that contains spaces, that is to say -> Custom Actions/Demo One/YourAction. If yes, how is this done? I've tried different approaches but none of them worked, like 

, Category = "Custom Actions.Demo One"

 

, Category = "\"Custom Actions.Demo One\""

 

By checking the default actions, it seems it is possible but it may be disable for custom actions.

 

Thanks!!

    I could not set it even in Resources.resx.
    I too could not find a way to specify category names containing spaces.
