onActionFormDialog/ActionExecuterAbstractBase

Hello,I have a custom action that extends ActionExecuterAbstractBase. My custom action is called as Document Library action using onActionFormDialog. It seems you do not have information about the node from within ActionExecuterAbstractBase until you execute where actionedUponNodeRef is a parameter.

It is not clear to me what you are trying to achieve. However, actionedUponNodeRef is available in execute method of ActionExecuterAbstractBase and that is the entry point of execution of the action.

I don't see the connection where a policy will allow me to get at the specifics of the node being actioned on. I wanted to use property value of the actioned upon node to seed values selected values.
