Action Flow

1. Check if the context has any variables which can be configured. If it doesn't, pop up an error message for the user. This can also mean the context is not currently available for configuration, such as when trying to configure a Device which is currently offline.

2. Change values of context variables by using an Edit Properties UI Procedure

Grouping Support

This action supports action grouping.

If the action is called for a group of contexts, it uses an Edit Properties UI Procedure to open the settings for the first context in the group. However, upon saving those settings, the modified settings (properties) will be written to all contexts in the group.
