Row action conditional rendering not showing action when it meets condition

Questions
1

When a row action is configured with conditional rendering, on initial page display if the condition is TRUE, the action is not displayed.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create page from XML below
  2. Preview page

Expected Behavior
“Flag for delete” row action should be visible

Actual Behavior
“Flag for delete” is not visible

Notes:

  1. When configuring the global action “My Global Action” with the same condition, it displays as expected
  2. If you change the condition on the row action to “!=‘Bar’” the row action appears on initial page display

This one took some research.

In the end, the reason you are seeing this behavior is because both of your models are built using the same SObject. Skuid, recognizing that both the referenced model and the context model are built on the same object, is being over-aggressive about optimization and choosing to use the context row (from your table) rather than traversing your other model to get a different row. Obviously, though, it should do a few more checks to make sure that this is appropriate.

If you had built your “Tracker” model on a different SObject, this issue wouldn’t have presented itself.

I’ve logged it in our bug tracker and we’ll address it in a future update.
