I have been looking for a way to assign a local action to a panel. The panel has no context and only shows a view of what I an calling 'development items', which is a content type. What I wanted to do was add a local action to enable the creation of a new item, which simply took me to the relevant node creation page

Despite looking I could not see a way to do this without using hook functions, which I wanted to avoid.

In the end I found that it would work if I created a local action and assigned a path to it that was a sub path to the view. Ie if the view path was/development, then the local action could be /development/add. Once I did this the local action appeared in the right place and worked!

I don't know if it should work in this way and would appreciate some help, local actions seem very useful but not very documented
