I have seen a lot of similar posts about this but most seem to be coming at this from the other direction (get a list from a View to use in a Rule). There are also a few posts on the project page about Rules/VBO integration; but all of them are dead links.

My use case is pretty straightforward and i would assume the most common of any case for VBO/Rules integration:

- I want to have VBO run a custom action
- that action should be able to use the (rewritten) values that the view generates.

that's basically it.

in addition, ideally, it would be nice if that action could be created from Rules (and, of course, in that Rule we would have access to use the field info from the View) but if Rules can't be used for this; i'd even write my own action if the Views fields were available.

Is this just something that can't be done? It does seem a bit odd that i can't find more on this as i would have to assume the use cases for this are unlimited.
