Dear Blair, Thank you for your advice and concern.
Yes, I will use "&FeatureName=3" style syntax for CustomAction by feature. > I don't know what you mean by > "selected by command internally" but if you need help with > that please elaborate more. I haven't decided yet how I implement the source regarding turning the features on/off internally. But as is now, I intend to use a feature level modified by its child condition. The information which features are set on/off comes from a pre-defined custom action's return values.
