How to create custom dropdown action in the banner/header of any table?

[Community Alums]

I am looking to add custom dropdown action in banner/header of any tables(incident, change) same as OOB 'More options' or 'Additional actions' provided by ServiceNow.

I believe those are not UI actions, must be widget or UI macros but don't have clarity.

Can this be implemented? If yes then please provide nay documentation or guided steps.

Hi @Community Alums ,

You can create a UI action to provide a button in the banner on top of a list.

You can refer below documentation:

Thanks,

Hi Ratnakar,

Thank you for the solution but I don't want to create single UI action. It should be kind of drop-down list like we have 'More Options' (...). When I click that button, it should show multiple other actions.

Not sure you can create a custom contextual menu but you can customize the existing one (ideally for a given table, not globally).

You can check in your instance for "Context Menus" (sys_ui_context_menu)
