Custom Button + Custom Modal Form

[mixerito]

I am trying to combine two of the tutorials from Docs.

1. https://docs.espocrm.com/development/custom-buttons/
2. https://docs.espocrm.com/development/modal/

In detail view there is custom button, that should cause Modal to popup.

Seems easy, but from the tutorials above, I am unable to achieve this result.

If entry view is "action-handler", the method CreateView is unknown.

If entry view is "view", the NestedViews is null and functions fail on this (eg. translate()).

Can somebody provide some example showing this use case ?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, found the answer for this.

Important is, that "action-handler" is not View, therefore it cannot call method CreateView.

So instead of calling this.createView(), one should call this.view.createView()

The other needed steps are covered in tutorials above.
