Torsten, Suggestion: Isn't it better to add another parameter instead of clogging cocoon-action? I mean:
Instead of: <input type="submit" name="cocoon-action-Add/parametervalue" value="Add"> Have: <input type="submit" name="cocoon-action-add" value="Add"> <input type="hidden" name="cocoon-action-parameter" value="parametervalue"> Hope it fits into your applications as well as "cocoon-action-Add/parametervalue" or even better.
