Extension: Link Button

[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

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?

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

It should run the BPMN

[Kharg]

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

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

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

[Kharg]

Sorry, just seeing this now.

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

[p4zdy]

for anyone not being clear what the workflow url is, it's really just a link to the specific workflow you get after clicking on workflow from the workflow manager, eg.: https://espocrm.local/#Workflow/view/66a8f2857f711fa7f

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?

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

of course you may count on my help for translation I can also provide translation in portuguese.

[Kharg]

Will merge it once I complete the new version, I will probably ask you to translate some more strings.

Thank you!
