list context menu: use 'current' in the condition field

[Adil JEBLI]

Hi everyone,

Im trying to creat a Ui action (list context menu), this gonna be apply for a related list in some form for example change_request and change_task, so when i right-click on some row in the related list i will see my ui action in that menu, i know that i can control its visibility by scripting in the condition field.

For example if i want to show it for users that have the role 'some_role' i have to write in the field condition this: gs.hasRole('some_role') .

I can also control visiblity by accessing to the parent that is 'change_request' in this case by typing 'parent' form example:'parent.active'.

but i can't access to the information row (record in the related list 'change_task') by typing the word 'current' as in the form button.

i read in the wiki this:

• The current object is not available for conditions on a list context menu (the List context menu check box is selected). Any use of current on these actions is ignored.

What i want is to control visibility in function of some information of the row.

Example:

task1 , number = 1

task2 , number = 2

task3 , number = 3

what i can write in the condition field to show that list control context for the task that its number is 2 , or what is the alternative of that ?

usualy for a simple form button we do this : current.number = 2.

What i can do here pls ?
Thank you

Is your UI action on change_task table?

[Abhinay Erra]

Use of current should work in the list context menu type UI actions. See the Close Task UI action on chnage_task table for reference.
