Where does RTC get the Description for a Follup-up Action?
In RTC, when you have a Follow-up Action selected/enabled and you click on it, it fills in the Name and (I guess) the Description to the right of the lists of Preconditions and Follow-up actions. Where does it get this description from? I had thought it was from the Text of the Feature Description tab on the Information tab of the Participant Feature project. However, I have Text in mine and it is not showing up.
I don't see anywhere else really that has a Description field in either the plugin.xml of the Participant project or the feature.xml in the Participant Feature project.
Thanks,Susan

So it looks like Eclipse doesn't display that in the client UI? I have to actually hack the xml directly?
Susan
it does, just not obvious..
right click on the extension name
and then you'll get the UI to edit
Thanks! I would have never figured THAT one out for myself. I definitly owe you a drink if I ever meet you!
