Splunk Enterprise Security

Trying to add a sub_search that brings back the action field to the base search. Any help will be appreciated.

It is not clear what you are trying to do with your sub-search. Please clarify in non-SPL terms, what it is that you are trying to achieve.

All I want to get from the subsearch is to bring back the field actions.  It can probably be a much smaller search.
