It looks like you're defining the path to the parent object just fine. But,
unless it's a typo, the code for accessing the child object is incorrect.
The child object form field name is "actionReasonCode" contained in a form
named "actionCode." But your JS code refers to it as:
document.actionReason.actionReasonCode.value
^^^^^^^^^^^^
This should be actionCode as in:
document.actionCode.actionReasonCode.value
