    what's the difference between Page.Jump and show Specific Page?

    Hi,

    Working on a project with about 30 pages, with various links to other pages in the same project.

    I have used most of the time a quick action Show Page > Specific Page with the name of the page to go to.
    For a few buttons I used a script Page.Jump("nameofthepage");

    Both work fine, but now I have renamed quite a few pages and found that the Page.Jump script automatically adapts to the new page names (so I don't have to do anything there) but that in the Quick Action Show Page I have to change the links manually.
    So I wish I had used the Page.Jump everywhere...

    My question: what is the difference between the two: why would I want to use a Show Page action in the future instead of a Page.Jump?

    Thanks for any explanation - it will help me in future projects for sure

    They're both the same internally. The QuickAction version just lets you do it without any knowledge of scripting.

    The QuickAction version should also get updated when a page is renamed...that might be a bug, so I've logged it to be investigated further. REF: 17369

    Thanks!
