I'd like to see a differentiation between the icons when searching in Service Studio so I can easily tell which one is the client action and which is the server action.

Perhaps using the same convention as the editor windows where the client actions are white with orange and server actions are orange with white.

Merged this idea with 'Differentiate Client and Server actions' (created on 07 May 2021 10:42:09 by Miguel Figueiredo)

Several actions available have the same name both for client action and server action. There should be a visual away to see the difference, for instance when we are searching.

Can you explain in more detail? server, client and service actions already have a different icon.

When you try to search by "list..." it will show ListAppend, ListAny, etc, etc ... in 2 versions (server and client) but with the same icon (in search results), sometimes it is difficult to guess if it's a server or a client action.

I see the issue... OutSystems is using the same icons for a number of Actions on both Client and Server versions. :(

When you are trying to add a "Client Action", if you use the search by "List" it just appears the the "Client Actions", if you are adding a "Server Action" it just appear the "List" from server actions.

Also if you are adding a dependecy they are on separate folders.

But I understand your issue, maybe they can have "dark orange" for server actions.
