Hello @dig,  
Thank you for your report.  
Can I have a screenshot of your segment. Also, can you send the code of your smart action please ?

After further investigation, it seems that when I go view the “Can mark successful” segment in collection X, then the smart action is enabled.

But when I navigate to a summary view which displays related data (Collection X), a record in the related data (which I’ve confirmed is in the “Can mark successful” segment above) shows the smart action as disabled. Similarly if I click on the record to view its own summary view, the smart action is still disabled.
