Custom effect in Advanced actions switches back to default

Question

The old custom effects and advanced actions...

I'm trying to apply a custom effect to an object:

But when I update the action, it changes back to the default:

I tried to switch the order as suggested by jmblackman in this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/950517?q=advanced%20action%20custom%20effect

But then the object will just appear without the effect.

The customization I made was the duration of the effect. So I'm not really sure if it really changes to the default effect or that the duration of a custom effect is set at 1 second as I remember reading somewhere.

Is there anyone out there who mastered this part of Captivate?

I'm using Captivate 8 by the way.

Thanks

It is 0,7 second.I did apply it to a random object on the slide. Otherwise it will not show up in the custom folder in the advanced actions interface. It worked as it should then. I deleted it afterwards. Indeed, that is the cumbersome work flow to have it show up in the list. But 0,7secs will not work, too short. I really hope one day those limitations for effects by advanced actions will be done with.

What did you customize in that effect? I use custom effects a lot, but it is a bit tricky when applied by advanced actions. Examples here: Reset Effects in Captivate 6 - Captivate blog
