I think you're calling same widget faceted-search/CustomBulkSelectItems/CustomBulkSelectItems twice and publishTopic also called twice from the get.js file.
After change the widget in the get.js it is looking fine to me.
Share your thoughts.
I changed your something like below and the output is like that.
var selectedItemsActionsGroup = widgetUtils.findObject(model.jsonModel.widgets,"id", "SELECTED_ITEMS_ACTIONS_GROUP");
selectedItemsActionsGroup.config.widgets.push(
{
id : "OnActionEditProperties",
name : "faceted-search/CustomBulkSelectItems/CustomBulkSelectItems",
config : {
label : "Edit",
iconImage : url.context
+ "/res/components/documentlibrary/actions/y-16.png",
type : "action-link",
permission : "",
asset : "",
href : "",
hasAspect : "",
notAspect : "",
publishTopic : "BULK_OPS",
publishPayload : {
action : "onActionEditProperties",
}
}
},
{
id : "OnActionManaged",
name : "faceted-search/CustomBulkSelectItems/CustomBulkSelect",
config : {
label : "Managed",
iconImage : url.context
+ "/res/components/documentlibrary/actions/x-16.png",
type : "action-link",
permission : "",
asset : "",
href : "",
hasAspect : "",
notAspect : "",
publishTopic : "BULK_OPS_1",
publishPayload : {
action : "OnActionManaged",
}
}
});

Updated info
Please look at the AlfFilteringMenuItem.js and
postCreate: function alfresco_menus_AlfFilteringMenuItem____postCreate() {
this.filterTopic && this.alfSubscribe(this.filterTopic, lang.hitch(this, this.filter));
this.inherited(arguments);
},
and
filter: function alfresco_menus_AlfFilteringMenuItem__filter(payload) {
this.alfLog("warn", "No implementation of filtering extension point", payload);
}
There is no specific implemenation is found. If you enable debug logs, you should be able to the warn messages.
I looked at the aikau logs and you can see the default behaviour also having muliple requests( each request for each widger) similar to yours. The only difference is , filter method and publish (lang.hitch) stuffs. Hope you're clear now.
