FormFilter not being called on action

I have implemented a Form Filter and register it within my module-context.xmlThe filter is correctly invoked for each forms in share interface, however it is not fired when I need it, which is when I invoke a custom action in doclib and a form is displayed.This is the form definition in share-config

Hello,

unfortunately, form filters on actions are not supported by Alfresco. I had created a <a href="https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-15535">JIRA / support issue</a> for this quite a long time ago and Alfresco simply closed it last year as "won't fix".
Note: You can't use the nodeFilterRegistry / typeFilterRegistry for Actions - they are only there for node creation, view and edit. The ALF-15535 would have added a filter registry for Actions.

Fortunately, the patch is pretty simple, so you could include this yourself. We have been maintaining this in our internal Alfresco patch library for a few years now.

Regards
Axel
