Bulk Action not available if Data Page calls an Activity
Hi all,
If Data Page is bound directly to a Report Definition, Bulk Actions button is available at runtime.
If Data Page calls an Activity, which does some preprocessing and calls exact report definition returning a Code-Pega-List, the Bulk Action does not appear at runtime.
The DX API appears to return different metadata in these two scenarios:
- For Data Page bound directly to report def, metadata includes pageNumber, pageSize, resultCount, and totalCount.
- For Data Page bound to Activity (which eventually calls same report def before returning Code-Pega-List), metadata includes only resultCount.
I checked the Help for bulk actions, I don't see mention of limitations. Is this unsupported?
Using Pega 24.2.2.

The difference lies in the metadata returned by the DX API:
- Direct Report Definition binding returns: pageNumber, pageSize, resultCount, and totalCount.
- Activity-based binding returns only: resultCount.
This limited metadata prevents the Bulk Actions UI from rendering properly. If pre-processing is needed, consider using Post-Processing on the Report Definition or refactoring the logic to avoid wrapping it in an Activity.
