I have two content types: contact and list, where list has a nodereference field to a number of contacts. I want to set up an action set that adds a contact type content to a list type contact, so that I can use this action from elsewhere (i.e. VBO) but I can't seem to access the individual fields when building an action set.

Browsing the issues queue shows that I can get at the fields in a rule by adding a condition that the content is of a specific type, but is there an equivalent for action sets?

Title: Accessing fields in an action set » Unable to access bundle fields in an action set
Component: Rules Core » Rules Engine
Category: support » bug

As work-a-round you can use a rule-set and check the bundle, and then access the fields in the same rule.

As proper fix, we should add UI for specifying the bundle in the variable-info of the component.

Subscribe. I'd like to do exactly the same thing - get a node from a node reference and work with it.

The fix you describe would definitely help me accomplish this.

Also, the workaround... uhm... worked. It's nice to have the ability to go condition->action->condition->action :)

But my ruleset can't be called from elsewhere as an action, can it?

Ah - I misunderstood; ruleset not rule. I get it now…

I'm also tortured by this issue.
