Thanks for trying to help...I am learning something, but my problem is still not resolved. It seems that estimatedSetupMillis is not defined at this point. Whether I put it under <row-actions>, <actions>, or in the default-value attribute of text I get nothing in all three cases. If I replace estimatedSetupMillis with a hard coded number it works. At what point is estimatedSetupMillis defined or do I need to use a specific map? I tried parameters and context, but neither helped.
