Olya,
Here is a sample page that uses a UI Only model and a Task model to demonstrate using the action sequence. I think where you were missing the step to set the input value when you ran the action sequence from the button.
This was built using Skuid version 12.0.11 (Spark) using API V1. It should work in version 11 (Millau).
Thanks,
Bill
