New button for Custom Table

[vidhya_mouli]

I have a custom table (extended from kb_knowledge). I don't want to use the existing New button but created a new one. This is the script

var uri = action.getGlideURI();
        var path = uri.getFileFromPath() + '';
        path = path.substring(0, path.length - 5) + '.do';

        uri.set('sys_id', '-1');
        path = checkWizard(uri, path);
        if (path)
            action.setRedirectURL(uri.toString(path));

        action.setNoPop(true);

        function checkWizard(uri, path) {
            var already = uri.get('WIZARD:action');
            if (already == 'follow')
                return null;

            var wizID = new GlideappWizardIntercept(path).get();
            if (!wizID)
                return path;

            uri.set('sysparm_parent', wizID);
            uri.deleteParmameter('sysparm_referring_url');
            uri.deleteMatchingParameter('sysparm_list_');
            uri.deleteMatchingParameter('sysparm_record_');
            uri.deleteParmameter('sys_is_list');
            uri.deleteParmameter('sys_is_related_list');
            uri.deleteParmameter('sys_submitted');
            uri.deleteParmameter('sysparm_checked_items');
            uri.deleteParmameter('sysparm_ref_list_query');
            uri.deleteParmameter('sysparm_current_row');

            uri.set('sysparm_referring_url', uri.toString());
            uri.deleteMatchingParameter('fancy.');
            uri.deleteMatchingParameter('sys_rownum');
            uri.deleteMatchingParameter('sysparm_encoded');
            uri.deleteMatchingParameter('sysparm_query_encoded');
            uri.deleteParmameter('sysparm_refer');

            return 'wizard_view.do';
        }

I can see the button and when I click, I get this message: No records selected
When I select a record and click on the button, new record form opens. I don't understand the issue here.

I don't think there is an issue with the script. When I tried

 var url = 'x_bigas_mandator_0_mandatory_documents.do?sys_id=-1';
 window.location.href = url;

had the same issue

Any suggestions please?

Hi @vidhya_mouli 

The OOTB “New” button is global, so you need to hide it by checking where it is implemented.

I don't have an issue in showing the Global new button. Why is it asking me to select a record before creating a new record?

@vidhya_mouli 

why you created new? what's the use case?

[vidhya_mouli]

Because this table extends KA, when I click on the New button, it takes me through Article template preview and it creates the article in kb_knowledge table. I don't want this. It should create the record in the custom table.
