Saving a CR in draft state and hiding global submit button when clicked

[User382122]

Hello, 

I have a requirement to save a cr in draft state. However, I need to hide the global submit button when saved as a drafted but when it is submitted after saving as a draft I need to make the global submit button visible. 

Please Help!! 

Thanks in advance!

Adding a new state "Draft" means you are introducing a new model state, so based on the change management flow, you have to create/update various objects like model state, model state transitions and workflow/or/flow ( whichever applied ) 

Example for New, similar create for "Draft" and mark it "Initial state" true and add new transitions, you might need to update other model state transitions for "Draft".    

Build step by step and review and update, if something broken.

Note: You have to create this model for each change type ( e.g. Normal, Emergency ),whichever applicable.

Hi @User382122 

What is your use case? Do you have another button save as draft on place?

Yes, I created a Ui Action button "Save as Draft".

Hi @User382122 

We have OOTB Save button , may i know what is need for save draft new UI button. In this case you need to update the global Submit button condition which may impact other modules as well.

Okay. Let me start from the beginning. I need to create a "Draft button" that when it is clicked is saves as a draft and not in a new state. Let's start here. How can I start this process with creating a new UI action and save in to a draft state. i need to get this working before I move to the global submit button.
