Different action behavior on click on default icon and custom one
Hello,
I seem to have uncountered either an undocumented feature or a bug here. We have a dynamic repeating grid (akin to that in a OOB data type) and in its last column we have a section with action button - edit, save & delete which should have corresponding actions happen on click. The issue lies with the 'Save' icon. We want the new/edited data to be appropriately validated (nothing special, just the property validations themselves e.g. no letters in decimal field etc) and saved after the user clicks it, akin to what happens OOB when you remove focus from the row. We've found out that if you use one of the default pega icon images and configure a Set focus -> Current Item on click of it, it just does that - it validates the keys and the properties and saves data if everything is alright, just like if you manually remove focus (in this scenario the focus stays on the row though which is just perfect). HOWEVER, if we use our own custom icon image (svg picture downloaded as a binary file), none of this happens and clicking it does absolutely nothing. I read the inbuilt help but there's nothing there about different icon images giving out different result. Is this supposed to happen? Is this a bug? What is the intended behaviour on click of an icon with Set focus -> current item action configured?

Hello,
I don't think this is expected no.
This 7.2.2 environment is quite old, are you considering an upgrade? I think it might be interesting to check the differences with a network trace maybe

We are considering an upgrade within next few months, but we already have a test environment on Pega 8.4.1 and I just checked it there - the behaviour is exactly the same as in 7.2.2. Furthermore, it also appears to persist with buttons too - if I use a button with no image, or a button with one of pega default images to set focus on current row, it updates the row akin to removing the focus (except the focus stays on the row), which is the behaviour we want. But if I add a custom image, the image becomes dead space - clicking on it does nothing, but clicking on the rest of the button still works fine. Note that it only works that way with "Set Focus -> Current Item", all the other actions (including "Set Focus -> Next Item") appear to consistently work on both default icon, custom icon and the whole button. It's as if something weird goes on with definition of 'current item' for non-default image.
