## Properties

`public string OriginalName { get; set; }` 

Gets or sets the Code Action name before this Code Action was first inlined into another process scheme.

`public string OriginalSchemeCode { get; set; }` 

Gets or sets the code of the process scheme from which this Code Action was first inlined.

`public bool WasInlined { get; set; }` 

Gets or sets a value indicating whether scheme inlining copied this Code Action from another process scheme.

`public string ActionCode { get; set; }` 

Gets or sets the C# method body compiled for this Code Action.

`[JsonConverter(typeof(StringEnumConverter))] [JsonConverter(typeof(SystemStringEnumConverter<CodeActionType>))] public CodeActionType Type { get; set; }` 

Gets or sets the [CodeActionType](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/CodeActionType/) that determines how this Code Action is compiled and invoked.

`public bool IsGlobal { get; set; }` 

Gets or sets a value indicating whether this Code Action is stored in Workflow Engine global parameters and made available across process schemes.

`public bool IsAsync { get; set; }` 

Gets or sets a value indicating whether this Code Action is compiled and invoked asynchronously.

`public string Usings { get; set; }` 

Gets or sets the semicolon-separated namespace imports added when this Code Action is compiled.

`public string ExcludedUsings { get; set; }` 

Gets or sets the semicolon-separated namespace imports excluded when this Code Action is compiled.

`public List<CodeActionParameterDefinition> ParameterDefinitions { get; set; }` 

Gets or sets the ordered [CodeActionParameterDefinition](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/CodeActionParameterDefinition/) form-field definitions used by Workflow Designer to build the structured editor for this Code Action's parameter.

### Remarks

A nonempty collection takes precedence over the format supplied by [IDesignerParameterFormatProvider](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Runtime/IDesignerParameterFormatProvider/) for the matching Code Action.

## Methods

`public CodeActionDefinition Clone()` 

Creates a copy of this [CodeActionDefinition](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/CodeActionDefinition/).

### Returns

| Type | Description |

| `CodeActionDefinition` | A new [CodeActionDefinition](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/CodeActionDefinition/) with cloned [BaseDefinition.DesignerSettings](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/BaseDefinition/) and a separate [CodeActionDefinition.ParameterDefinitions](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/CodeActionDefinition/) list containing cloned [CodeActionParameterDefinition](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/CodeActionParameterDefinition/) instances. |

### Exceptions

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `NullReferenceException` | [BaseDefinition.DesignerSettings](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/BaseDefinition/) is [null](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/null). |

### Remarks
