I have a few questions. 1. In my immediate custom action, how do I get the property value in DTF (C#). 2. In my immediate custom action after stuffing the CustomActionData how do I serialize it out to the name of the property of the immediate custom action. 3. In my defferred custom action, how di I get the name of the custom action that is calling into my method.
