How to Clone an Action in ActionJail

Cloning allows you to quickly create a new action based on an existing one: code, config, and UI schema are copied, and the system ID becomes unique. This saves time when you need to make minor changes without risking breaking the original.

When It Will Be Useful

  • You need a variant of an action with minimal edits.
  • You want to test a logic change without affecting the production action.

What's Important to Know

  • The clone's System ID receives a suffix and remains unique.
  • Other fields (code, config, UI schema, description) are copied and available for editing before saving.

Before You Start

  • Apps → ActionJail is open.
  • You have determined which action to use as a base.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Find the needed action in the list and open it.
  2. Click Make a copy — the wizard opens with filled fields.
  3. Check the new system ID (with suffix), change the display name and description if needed.
  4. If needed, edit the code, JSON config, or UI schema.
  5. Click Complete to save the clone to the library.

What Happens After

  • A new action with a unique system ID appears in the list, the original is not changed.

How to Verify Everything Worked

  • The clone appears in the list with a unique system ID.
  • The original action remains unchanged.
