ui action condition

[zx]

I want to add a condition to the 'update' button , but the condition column in the update ui action is already filled. What should I do in this situation?

Hi @zx For easier maintainability, keep the condition as short as possible. If the computation is complex, it is difficult to read and understand. Rather than increasing the field length, consider putting your logic in a script include. For example, rather than something like this...

Hi @zx 

You can probably append your condition and call the script include in the condition column.

Hi @zx  You can append your condition using && like refer this 

(new GlideRecord(current.getTableName())).canWrite() && RP.isOneToMany() && !RP.getListControl().isOmitEditButton()

hi @zx 

You can use logical operators (like && for AND or || for OR) to combine the existing condition with your new condition.

Suppose existing code is:

current.state == 'open'

you can update the condition like: 

current.state == 'open' && gs.hasRole('admin')

For complex conditions, consider moving the logic to a Script Include or a Business Rule for better maintainability and readability.

i hope my answer helps you to resolve your issue, if yes please mark my answer helpful and correct.

thank you
