Hi, has anyone successfully created a "quick action" to call a lightning component programatically.  Currently we are only able to create them declaratively which is inefficient and difficult to deploy between environments.

If the quick actions can only be created programatically how can they be deployed between environments?
 

Our sandboxes updated to Version: Summer '18 Patch 3.5 on 5/5/18.  Since the update an existing validation rule is causing failures when updating the record that the rule is associated with.  The rule fires on an encrypted field and is throwing a Invalid (null).  A previous known issue I found here is similar but it says it is fixed (https://success.salesforce.com/issues_view?id=a1p30000000jaT3AAI&title=validation-rule-occurring-with-invalid-null-when-org-has-encryption-enabled).  I also tried the work around in the known issue, however the rule still throws the error.
