Umbraco Property Action

What is it?

Property Actions are buttons that appear next to property labels in the backoffice, providing secondary functionality for property editors. They expand to show available actions when clicked. Property Actions let you add auxiliary features to existing property editors without modifying the editors themselves - useful for shortcuts, transformations, or context-specific operations.
