Hi,

I'm trying to complete the challenge on the Creating Object-Specific Quick Actions unit in this trail, but I've come across an issue in my Developer Edition environment and was wondering if anyone could help out here.
I'm trying to create an object-specifc update action, but 'Update a Record' isn't available in my dropdown list when creating global actions - see screenshot below:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Soni,

I believe this is the solution to challenge #4, which we both completed.
The question is around challenge #5 "Creating Object-Specific Quick Actions".  For this challenge, the first step is:
  • Create an object-specific quick action called 'Update Account Information' on the account object
This seems to require an "Update a Record" option in dropdown.

Thanks!
Mike

Additionally, the Information on the Action Type says there should be a Update option:

A Create action lets users create records in the publisher, Update a Record allows user to update data on the fields of an existing record in the publisher, and a Log a Call action lets them record the details of a call. A Custom action is a Visualforce page or canvas app.

Figured it out.  There are Global Actions and Object Actions.  In this challenge, the New Action needs to be created from the Account object.  That will give the "Update a Record" option in the dropdown.
