How to Hide the Out-of-the-Box Save Button in the Source-to-Pay Workspace Based on State?

[hamatu]

We are investigating whether it is possible to hide the standard Save button (OOTB Save button) in the Source-to-Pay workspace based on the record’s status.

Is it possible to modify the out-of-the-box (OOTB) Save button using UX Client Scripts and GlideAjax?

Is it impossible to hide the OOTB Save button using client scripts or UX Client Scripts without modifying the HTML via DOM manipulation?

Also, if it is possible to hide it using UX Client Scripts and GlideAjax, I would appreciate it if you could explain how to do so.

If you know of a method, I would appreciate your guidance.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @hamatu 

Technically I hv no solution for this now, but from process side I think it is not a good or valid use case. Save Button given by design and ootb to help agent to stay on page or form instead of opening it again from start 

If you remove save Button then how agent will save a record? There is no way so keep this button and avoid any technical debt.

we have workspace configuration tab in ui action record, disable that so that ui action will no longer visible in workspace.

if user doesn't satisfy Table.None WRITE ACL then they won't see the Save button

Why to hide that button?

As already informed by me you should control the visibility of the button using Table level WRITE ACL

if you still want to hide then check the OOTB UI action "Save" on global table and try to hide by updating conditions in both the UI actions as this

Existing Condition && current.getTableName() != 'yourtable name'

I updated OOTB Save button for Existing record and it was gone from INC table

Before

After
