@rishabkaushik You know you can put multiple commands in a single action, right? Just have one or more newlines between the commands:
You can even prompt the commands by adding a The commands will be run one after the other as long as the command does not fail... and I guess this is what you're looking for? |

Hey @chrjorgensen, Ah! I did not know you can run multiple commands like that though I was aware of prompting. Thanks! One more thing, what if I want to execute an action like opening a source member for edit? The use case I have is that, we have a source control mechanism - which has a command to copy the member before editing to another library say STAGED. I have defined a custom action for the command and it works fine and copies the member to STAGED library. I do have a filter to browse and edit that member and I have to manually open the member. What I want to achieve is, once I run the command it copies the member to STAGED lib, then at VS Code the newly created member is opened without me navigating to the STAGED library. Is it a viable option to have? |

@rishabkaushik Sorry, but it is not possible to send commands to Code for IBM i from the actions. Actions will always send the command to the server, not Code for IBM i. Your request would require some coding in the extension to make that possible... 😞 Your idea has been noted and will be considered by the team - but you're also welcome to clone the source code and make the change yourself, if you have the skill and code TypeScript, and then send your changes in a PR. 😃 |

It will be helpful if we can combine multiple actions and use the completion status to execute another action based on it.
