Add a onw action to a list-view in a customer entity

[sttn]

Hello,

I search a way to add a own action to this dropdown-list.


I find nothing in the documetnation, does someone have an idea?

Greetings, sttn,
What kind of action do you want to implement there? Maybe we can recommend you a better workaround for this case. Because it seems like you can't adjust those types of dropdown lists without adding custom code solutions.

Hi Heint,
behind the rows there are some processes, so there are some actions:
- change Status
- cancel execution, but don't delete

It should start an custom API action.

I found for Meetings a good excemple:


And I found the Javascript where Espo add it to Meeting: client/modules/crm/src/views/meeting/record/row-actions/default.js

But when I implement it for my own entity, it does not work.

You need also to define in metadata. https://docs.espocrm.com/development...#rowactionlist

You can use the meetings action as an example.

Thank you!

Now, I test it and it works greate.

I use a custom entity with the name "CSms".

In custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/clientDefs/CSms.json:

"rowActionDefs": {
     "cancelSMS": {
     "label": "SMS Canceln",
     "handler": "custom:cancelSMS",
     "acl": "edit" }
     },
"rowActionList": [
          "__APPEND__",
          "cancelSMS"
     ]

And that is the handler (client/custom/src/cancelSMS.js):

define('custom:cancelSMS', ['action-handler'], (Dep) => {
     return class extends Dep {

          /*
​          Execute, when selected
​          */
​          process(data, e) {
               console.log("cancelSMS.process");

​          ​     // Debugging ... so you can see what you get in "data" and "e"
               console.log("data:");
               console.log(data);
               console.log("e:");
               console.log(e);
          }

         /*
         Check, if it should bee available
         This is called, when the menu is created.
         If it returns false, the menu item will not be shown.
         If it returns true, the menu item will be shown.
         */​
          isAvailable(data) {
               console.log("cancelSMS.isAvailable");

​          ​     // Debugging ... so you can see what you get in "data"
​               console.log("data:");
               console.log(data);

               return true;
          }
     }
});​
