Edit a shared action in Cp9

Question

I created a shared action and attached it to the Submit button on four knowledge questions. Now I want to edit it to add some actions, but I can't figure out how to open it for editing. Under Project > Advanced Actions, I don't see it in the list, so I can't open it there. I do see it at the end of the Library list, but when I look at the properties of the shared action, the Edit button is unavailable. I thought maybe that was because it was in use, so next I disattached it from the four Submit buttons. That didn't work, and when I check its usage, it says it is still attached to the buttons. How can I add actions to my shared action?

It is not possible to edit a shared action. You can open the shared action as template for a new action: templates are under the button 'Blank', top left of the Advanced actions dialog box. Edit the action, and save it again as shared action. It is too cumbersome, I know, so I advice to log a feature request for a more easy work flow. I did.

You can't edit a shared action and have it's changes applied to the actions created from it.You'll have to edit each of those actions separately or create a new shared action from a newly edited one.
