shalmaxb I added your translation to my pull request. Should make it easier for kharg to add it. https://github.com/Kharg/link-button/pull/2

Hi, I'm currently testing this extension and so far I love it. Great job!
Just one question Kharg - when I run a workflow which has a confirmation dialog set up, this button skips the confirmation and executes the workflow immediately. Do I have something wrong with the setup, or is it not supported?

[Kharg]

Sorry, just seeing this now.

Workflow don't have confirmation dialog in link-buttons, is this something you would need?

[p4zdy]

It's alright, thanks for answering now.
It would be nice to have it, we're working on a scenario where we intend to use the button to completely close the whole case and everything related to it (tasks, events and our additional entities). To prevent users from doing this by accident it's neccessary to have a confirmation.
We can use the built-in workflow buttons, but I really like the idea of having it placed and styled the way we want

Hi Kharg, any chance to implement BPMN workflows additionally to the normal workflows?

[Kharg]

Should it open the modal to select the BPMN to run or should it run a specific BPMN?

[boris]

It should run the BPMN

I have an idea buzzing around in my head.
Could the label text also be passed by formula?

[Kharg]

I think that for this I should change the field type to something else such as an array or make it so you can use a varchar field as label and you select which varchar will act as a label, but this will just lead to useless fields being created.

Why would you need a label that can be defined using formula? Wouldn’t dynamic logic with different buttons work?

[ChrisSka83]

This is just a thought to optimize it visually.

I work with sequential numbers for each entity.

Example:
A request has the number AN-1234.
An event is planned from this, this is named EX-1234 and a button is to be created from this, which is linked to this event.
You could give the button the name “to event”, but somehow that looks stupid. So my question was whether the button could then take the name of the event.

Example of the button:
to the event -> EX-1234

[Kharg]

It could maybe take the record name or the linked record name

Hello Kharg, I would like to know if it’s possible to link the functionality of my custom button, which opens a modal, to the button from this extension so that it opens the same modal mine.

[Kharg]

Maybe you could try to edit the extension and add a execute javascript option? But this would be a security risk probably.

I have a question about your extension link button

I know how to add a button to the list
but I wanted to ask if it is possible to add a button that will quick create modal a record related to another module?

for example on Account list I want add button which can quick create related record Contact




same function as click create contact inside account detail




is that possible?

Hello,

Yes 1.6.0 has that feature. But it’s still not perfect.
