How do you create a submenu for ui actions to be listed under on a Form?

[tim_harris]

In the list view I can create context menus and have ui actions nested under a submenu to the context menu. However, I can't figure out how to do this for the context menu that appears when right clicking the title bar in the form view. Anyone have any ideas?

So under UI context there should be a field called "menu" that should allow you to set form header. No this isn't the standard UI action.

Interesting... Our instances only have three choices:

1. List Header
2. List Row
3. List Title

There is no "Form Header" option to select. Is that possibly a customization?

Well nothing on my instance indicates it was customized and it appears to have been there since the start (2011) Yet I don't see it mentioned in the wiki article. Context Menus - ServiceNow Wiki. Perhaps it is apart of some customization I may not be immediately familiar with. Taking a look at Advanced Templates - ServiceNow Guru which was loaded as apart of our initial rollout of the instance it uses a UI Macro to edit those context menus. That might help you get started I'm going to look into why I have that form option, because it' not being used either.

Chris, I looked into the Advanced Templates by ServiceNow Guru but it did not contain the customization. However, I did start writing my own customization. 🙂 I will post the solution here once I am done.
