BUG - Ask Question Transparency Setting - Not working properly

This happened a few updates ago I just forgot all about it, when using the transparency setting in the ask question action is does not work if you add the action into a rule and set the transparency colour in the action.

Transparency only works if the colour is defined in the action, and then add the action to the rule. This becomes an issue as for every colour you want will need a separate action creating as it can no longer be defined in the action after adding it to the rule

did we ever get a fix for this? it still doesnt work and you need to create a separate action everytime you need a different colour for transparency, it doesnt work it you set transparency from the action in the rule

Hmmm, it has always worked for me…


And finally, changing the band and the transparency …


Blue on Red with brand new Action defined and inserted into Rule …


ive only tried it by setting the colours the same, when i do that transparency doesnt work, just the original colour “banner” in the middle of the screen

Do you use color Names or Hex colors with the leading Alpha channel?

Blue on Blue …


Blue on Blue again …


Orange …


Orange Transparency with no “band” color …


colour names, maybe thats the issue at one point i was using hex codes then changed to colour names and that could be when i noticed the issue

Maybe not then but it definitely doesnt work for me, i have to set them in the action before adding to the rule
