Problem/Motivation

Drupal core contains a module "action" that provides the ability to store actions with a specific configuration as configuration entity (prefixed with system.action.*.*). It may be convenient to execute such preconfigured actions similiar to how VBO does it.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

I currently see two options:

  1. Implement an action plugin "Execute pre-configured action" that would in turn provide a selection list of available action configurations, and then execute the selected config entity.
  2. Same as option 1 by implementing an action plugin "Execute pre-configured action", but using a deriver that defines one action for each configuration entity.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes
