Replicate UI Action Button Behaviour in Project Workspace

[Andrew Bettcher]

Hi,

There is a button that appears in the Risks related list on the Project Form called "Create from Library". When you click it you can add a risk to the project from the risk library. A modal pops up like this:

I've added a new "Related List Declarative Action" (on sys_declarative_action_assignment) and, to test, I just set it to give me a console log. 

 The button appears in the right place on the project workspace like this:

But when I click it, I get an error saying Failed to execute action. Please contact your administrator.
This is my declarative action:

Note that I am not able to select the project workspace in the workspace field. The only option there is "Agent Workspace".

What am I doing wrong?

Hello, I have just created the same example for other table to test and I have no problems as long I have the function onClick() 

I did with alert, but it also worked with console.log :

this is the code :

function onClick() {
 
alert("this is a test");
console.log("test");
}

If I remove the function onClick() with the same code I do get the error you are mentioning : 

Can you check if you have the function and give it a try ? 

I hope this helps

Thank you. I can now get the popup to appear. 

Unfortunately, since posting, it has become clear that I need to set it up as a UXF Client Action (which doesn't work!!).

Either way, you solved the problem I posted. Thank you again.

I agree with what @Diogo Ramos mentioned.

I just checked few OOTB Related list actions and it has the onClick function, add that and it should work fine
