UI Action List

In Eureka there is a new field type called "UI Action List". This field allows ui actions to be links in a table list. Does anyone have experience on how to use this field type? We want to create links in a column from a gauge on a homepage to take a user to an associated visual task board. This field would solve this perfectly, but I can't find any documentation on how to use it.

Hello Tomasz,

I'm trying to achieve this in a London personal dev instance, and I think I am missing something. I've set the default value for the glide_action_list field to the sys_id of my UI Action, which was cloned from the [Accept remote update] UI Action, added the new field to the list view, but it appears blank, without any UI Actions.

It still works for me on London Patch4. Are you sure you changed the table to the table you want to use the UI Action on and adjusted the condition to match your records?

I think UI Action Visibility rules were the cause of that. When I deleted the UI Action Visibility rule, the field finally started to render UI Action list. And as soon as I added the UI Action Visibility rule back, the field went blank again. So don't use UI Action Visibility rules with this Field Type.

Also, for some reason my instance won't show the UI Action list when available UI Actions are listed in the Default value. Putting those into Calculated solved the issue for me, though.
