Hi  , Below is the UI action code of Generate PDF button

var pdfUtils = new sn_bia.GenerateBiaPdfUtil(current.sys_id); var defaultTemplateName = pdfUtils.getPDFTemplateName(); var escapedName = new sn_bcm.BCMUtils().escapeHTML(current.getValue("name")); var result = pdfUtils.generateDocument(escapedName, defaultTemplateName); current.update(); action.setRedirectURL(current); if (result.attachmentId && result.downloadLink) { gs.addInfoMessage(gs.getMessage('<div style="display: inline-block;">{0} PDF has been successfully generated for download</div>', result.downloadLink)); } else { gs.addErrorMessage(gs.getMessage('Error: Unable to generate PDF attachment')); }

And document template name is "BIA PDF Template"

var GenerateBiaPdfUtilBase = Class.create(); GenerateBiaPdfUtilBase.prototype = { initialize: function(biaSysId) { this.impactAnalysisTable = 'sn_bia_analysis'; this.documentTemplateTable = 'sn_doc_template'; this.biaSysId = biaSysId; this.FILE_EXTENSION = '.pdf'; }, getPDFTemplateName: function() { return "BIA PDF Template"; },

Below is the source code of the template

if it's out of the box button then you can inform customer the behavior

it's better you create your own button with your logic rather than touching OOTB
