UI Action not visible in context menu despite "Form context menu" being selected

I am unable to add a new UI action to the context menu of an Incident. I have done this successfully many times before, but now it isn't working.

I have the check box selected and I also have the form link selected. It shows up as a form link, so I know there isn't a problem with the conditions.

Any help is appreciated. 

Thanks,

Well,

I tried updating the cache and going into an incognito browser as was suggested. Unfortunately that did not solve the problem. I also exported the UI action as XML and imported it into another instance, the UI action was still not visible in the context menu.

"Solution"

I  was not able to make the UI action I was working with visible in the context menu. This UI Action was a copy of another UI action in the context menu.

However, I found that if I created a new UI action, I was able to make the new UI action visible in the context menu. Also I was able to make copies of that UI action visible in the context menu. Finally, I was also able to make a copy of a UI action was not and had not previously been made visible in the context menu, and then I could make the new UI action visible in the context menu.

Thought

It seems, that at least in my instance, if make a copy of a UI action created prior to Rome that was visible in the Context menu, then I won't be able to make the copy visible in the context menu.

I appreciate that help. Hope, no one else has this problem, but if you do, maybe what I've found will help you.

Thanks,

Cody

Hi Chris,

The UI action didn't show in an incognito browser.
