Why Ui Policy does not work on list view?

[Vicky Kumar Sh1]

Can someone explain why Ui policy doesn't work on list view? I am new to SNOW and just learning basics.
I searched and all the answer is just saying that It doesn't work on list view and use Data policy for such task.

But I want to know why, what is the reason Ui policy doesn't work on list view.

Hello,

By current design, UI Policies just don't work on list view. So it's a feature limitation.

If you need to adjust things on list view, then you'd use an onCellEdit Client Script.

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!

Hi Vicky,

I'm glad you found a correct answer. I felt I covered that appropriately, above, but perhaps not.

Anyways, take care! 🙂

Hi Vicky,

UI policies only work on form view or it only apply to data entered on a form via a standard browser. For more information, please see SNOW doc for Data policy.

May I know what are you trying to accomplish for your list view?

Please Mark ✅ Correct or Helpful, if applicable. Thank you!

Hi,

UI Policies have 2 types - onload and onchange. Hence it will not working in list view.

Client script have 4 types - onload, onchange, oncell edit, onsubmit. you can write on cell edit client script for your business requirements.
