epActions - how can I add to the Available actions for Shortcut Hotkeys?

Hello EpiUsers,
I’m trying to get a user of AP Invoice Entry switched to Kinetic.
She heavily uses Hotkey shortcuts.
In AppStudioUserGuide_2023.2 I find this:

If Kinetic is lacking “epActions” or at least not displaying them in the Shortcuts Edit menu, can anyone here help me add them for my user?
Specifically “New Receipt Line” and/or “New Job Misc Line”.
But point me to the correct area would be a help.
Thanks,
Ben

There is a bug in Kinetic surrounding adding shortcut keys.

I detailed this case for Epicor that has PRB for HotKeys as well

Description

Outline your issue:

Trying to add an action to a card on a child page with a shortcut to simulate a universal hot key for all users. When added to a child page the action is not available as a control in events to perform my macro function.

Share steps already taken to resolve/reproduce your issue:

  1. Open ABC Codes in application studio
  2. Open the landing page for edit
  3. Select the main grid > properties > advanced >action data
  4. Add a new action ID “LandHotKeyTest”, description “Landing Hot Key Test”, shortcut “ALT + F2”
  5. Go back to application map and open the Details page for edit
  6. Select the Detail card > properties > advanced and enable action menu
  7. Click action data
  8. Add a new action ID “DetailHotKeyTest”, description “Detail Hot Key Test”, shortcut “ALT + F3”
  9. Go to events and create a new event “HotKey_LandingTest”
  10. Set the trigger as Control with On Click and look for “Landing Hot Key Test”
  11. Add the action for the trigger as just a Kinetic Message and make it an Info toast with the message “Landing Test”
  12. Create a new event “HotKey_DetailTest”
  13. Set the trigger as Control with On Click and look for “Detail Hot Key Test”

This is where the road ends. “Detail Hot Key Test” is not available. I attached the layer I created to develop the steps above.
