Do dynamic form rules apply to Actions?

I am trying to create an action so that when a record is added in the [Project Table] it automatically creates an activity for its setup in the [Activity Table]. Though, the field in the [Activity Table], [Time Logged] is a numeric field. I cannot use the "Write Value" option to write in the default value for [Time Logged] as text data is not compatible. Do dynamic form rules still apply in actions? So that if I had a dynamic form rule for the [Activity Type] "setup" that filled in its default value it would still fill in its default value even though it was created through an action?

  • I am suggesting to not use Actions at all.

    Just have two fields.

    1. A data entry field for the time
    2. A final Time calculated field which will take the greater of the min time and the time entered. 

    Use the latter field in view mode on the form and on reports
