Adding a custom action to the Dropdown section of a Post in the stream section

[rabii]

It is challenging to achieve but was curious to figure out how it can be done. After few hours of researching - found a way how to achieve this fully upgrade safe.

[rabii]

yes because that part is not exposed directly to update. but with a little work you can achieve that.

I will look into setup handlers, but it seems I would be going into something far much heavier than expected.
Thank you for your time, Rabii.

This could be complex and not straight forward to achieve you need to figure out a lot e.g you could face issue with race conditions etc but i think you could achieve this two ways - upgrade safe (using ViewSetupHandlers framework)

https://docs.espocrm.com/development/frontend/view-setup-handlers/

or monkey patching (which is similar to view setup handlers) just for views not extended by the former one.

Hey.

I running into a challenge of adding a Schedule Call action as part of the menu in the picture and most tutorials deal with either detailView on the top-right or dropdown menu on the detailView. Any help or advice on how to do it or any other workarounds would be appreciated.
