An enabled expression can make a repeated TestField unnecessary in OnAction

Description

A page action's Enabled expression controls whether the user can invoke its OnAction trigger. When that expression requires a record field to be nonblank, the UI cannot invoke the action while the field is blank. Repeating the same presence check with TestField at the start of OnAction is therefore not required for that UI path.

Best Practice

Do not flag a missing TestField in OnAction when the action's Enabled expression already proves that the same field is nonblank before UI invocation. Require validation in shared business logic or other entry points that do not have the action's UI guard.

Anti Pattern

Recommending an unconditional duplicate TestField solely because OnAction uses the field, without accounting for an Enabled expression that prevents invocation while the field is blank.
