I’m trying to open a dock from a button in a popup, but nothing happens when I click on the button. I’ve tried both the Dock action and via a script action. I can use the same commands from a button on a normal, non-popup View
Bump. Is there a workaround for this?
Can you post the identifier for the Popup? (not the Dock) As a workaround until I can diagnose the issue, send a message from the popup, and place a handler on the main view and allow the handler to operate the Dock.
The popup is a single popup that I use for all devices where I have an embedded view that gets substituted out based on the device i’m showing and the popup id i’m opening them with is variable based on:
popupId = 'device-popup-%s-%s' % (deviceParentPath, deviceName)
where deviceParentPath + '/' + deviceName is the tag path to the device.
For example:
device-popup-Winery/Area/Tank/Pump A
The id of the confirm dock is:
confirm-action
The button that calls to open the dock is from within the embedded view mentioned above, which itself is inside another nested embedded view:
Device Popup -> “Device View” Embedded View -> “Runtime display” Embedded View -> “Reset runhours” Button to open confirm dock
If the identifier has any “/” characters, we’ve identified areas where Popups will fail to execute some Actions. See this post: Perspective File Upload component onFileReceived not firing in a popup
Just as an experiment, try modifying the identifier to something simple and see if it works so that we can verify this is the issue you’re encountering.

Well that’s embarrassing… I only had the dock added to one particular page. I must have thought I’d selected Shared config, but really I was just configuring one page. It works now unchanged (i.e. still using the “/” in the popup id) after adding the confirm action dock into the shared config.
Interesting. Okay.
Atleast you solved a forum post today
