why does my 'try it' button disappear?

[randallschumm]

When using Studio in my Developer Instance to build components, I see the 'Try It' button when I 'Update' a record, but it disappears almost immediately when the page finishes refreshing. This happens when editing a Catalog Item or a UI Page maybe others and I just haven't noticed . If I'm quick, I can hit the button before it disappears and it works like I would expect and it's helpful. But I can't figure out why it's disappearing.

Go to a record with the Try It button, right click on the bar to bring up the context menu and select Configure > UI Actions. Find your Try It UI Action and look at the condition that needs to be true for it to show up.

I went to the UI Action and for 'Try It' the condition field was blank, so I added a statement that would evaluate to true but (true) and (1==1), that did not help. This script was there:

// save any updates

if (current.changes())

  current.update();

// redirect to us

gs.setRedirect("ui_page.do?sys_id=" + current.sys_id);

So I tried commenting it all out in case that was the problem. But this didn't help.

Hi,

Can you post a screen shot of the issue you are facing, it would help to debug better.

Of course. This is a capture immediately following an Update. It was tough to get, because that Try It button vanishes so quickly.

This is what it looks like after the Try It button disappears.

Here are screen shots from the UI Action, both in List View of all action and when I open the Try It action.
