[Vinicius Luz1]

Hey guys,

Having such a hard time with this requirement... The HR Onboarding module has this widget "HRM Task Parent", I need to change thing in this button on the screen:

This is soo complicated cause there's one widget calling others and I couldnt find where to edit this button.

Any clue? tks in advance

Hello Vinicius,

I cannot see the picture, are you able to re-upload the screenshot please?

Hi @quentin.gillet  , thanks for answering.

The image is attached and inserted in the message body, can you see it?

I have this Activity "Cadastro de Dependentes" which is tied with a HR Template... This HR Template has the HR Activity Type = "Mark When Completed" and this seems to generate automatically a button labeled "Complete" (mine is in portuguese, but anyways, same logic).

My point is... Have you ever edited this automatically generated button? I need to know which widget should I edit to be able to change this button behavior, label and other stuff.

It seems that this main "HRM Task Parent" widget is calling a lot of others and even following to each one of them, I still did not find this button to edit.

Are you wanting to change the label on the button only, or change the functionality?  You can update the label of it from the sys_ui_message table without updating the widget.

Hey @sbritt ,

Thanks for answering!

Yep, I mean... I mentioned change the label of it for less complicated explanation, I do need to access the HTML of this button somehow cause actually I need to duplicate it.

This original button would be the "Complete" default one and the other I need would be something like "I Have no dependents" which will carry the same function to mark as completed this "Mark When Completed" Activity...

Have you managed to edit those widgets in the past ?

HRM Task Activity widget will call another widget to display based on the task type.  HR Tasks are using the HRJ Task widget.  I would not recommend changing any of these widgets though. 

Instead, I would suggest adding additional information to the Mark When Complete task to guide the employees.  Since it's only for one specific HR Task, I would update the task template to include verbiage like "If you do not have any dependents, please select the "Complete" button".  This can be added to the HR Task's "Description" field in the template. Then it would appear on the screen for the user to see without any customizations.

If you wanted to add more guiding information on all Mark when Complete task types, again, you can create/update the sys_ui_message for this.  If the message with key value of "Click on the Complete button to mark task as complete" does not exist, create it and update the language and message accordingly.
