actionAdd replaces context menus instead of adding [message #1777526]

Hello again!

I'm using actionAdd in menuBuilder and emfMenus.
I've tried a bunch of stuff but the actionAdd always removes existing context menus such as the default sibling and child submenus. Is this intended?

I've stripped it to the bare essentials to see if I'm doing something wrong:

Ele -> #[
actionAdd("xxxxx",
null,
null,
null
)
]

My expected behavior would be that it looks exactly the same as if I had no customization, but with the added context menu. However this is not the case.

Is it the case that the default child/sibling submenus automatically disappear as soon as actionAdd/actionChange are there?

Thanks!
Ulrich

Hi Ulrich,
I confirm that it's the expected behaviour.

The reason is that it is very simple to recreate new menu items with your own logic, once you have customized the menu in the dsl.
But you can also re-use default menu items, if you need them.

Let me know if you need more details.

Cheers.
Francesco

Hi Francesco

Thanks! How would I add/keep/recreate the "New Child"/"New Sibling" context menus after adding a command with addAction?

Thanks!
Ulrich
