How can I add the "Add to Update Set Button" to my config pages?

[josh_tessaro]

I see a bunch of screenshots on the community forms where admins have an Add To Update Set button on configuration records, is this part of a plugin or a custom add?

Share and SNGuru have a few versions of this.

The "Add To Update Set" button is a Global UI action.

also, "Show Insert" and "Show update" are marked true.

the condition for this button is gs.hasRole("admin")

here is the script that is run.

//Commit any changes to the record

current.update();

//Check to make sure the table isn't synchronized already

var tbl = current.getTableName();

if(tbl.startsWith('wf_') || tbl.startsWith('sys_ui_') || tbl == 'sys_choice' || current.getED().hasAttribute('update_synch') ||current.getED().hasAttribute('update_synch_custom')){

    gs.addErrorMessage('Updates are already being recorded for this table.');

    action.setRedirectURL(current);  

}

else{

    //Push the update into the current update set

    if (typeof GlideUpdateManager2 != 'undefined')

          var um = new GlideUpdateManager2();

    else

          var um = new Packages.com.glide.update.UpdateManager2();

    um.saveRecord(current);

    //Query for the current update set to display info message

    var setID = gs.getPreference('sys_update_set');

    var us = new GlideRecord('sys_update_set');

    us.get(setID);

    //Display info message and reload the form

    gs.addInfoMessage('Record included in <a href="sys_update_set.do?sys_id=' + setID + '">' + us.name + '</a> update set.');

    action.setRedirectURL(current);

}

you will also get an "Add To Update Set" button to your "Add To Update Set" button

Has anyone added this option to the "Actions on selected rows" drop down menu?   If so, how should script be written?

If you download the version from Share that I posted above, it shows up as a Related Link on an individual record and also shows up as a list action in the drop down at the bottom of the list.
