action attribute

The action attribute specifies the name of the action to activate when executing the creatable.

Action is required for New and Wizard creatables. If no action is provided for File and Directory creatables, GSOpenFileAction is used.

Note:

Some file actions are unable to open some file types. If an action is used with an unsupported file type, the action will not be executed and the corresponding module error is displayed.
