Ah, I see what you are after. You want a form button with a drop down list of choices to function like the Follow button! Thank you for clarifying.

I love that idea. I'm also sad to say that nothing like that exists OOB today for customers to create/configure. It may be possible to do with some custom programming, but that is beyond my skill set at this time and would likely involve DOM manipulation which carries upgrade risks.

I invite you to open an enhancement request! Our product managers DO listen.

It's not a UI action. It it implemented similar to the paper clip, More options menu, and other non-UI action items on that menu bar. It is part of the platform code.

Can you provide me where exactly the Follow was located

Hi Sohan,

are you referring to the Connect Follow button?

Follow a record in Connect

For me this button is automatically enabled on the change_task table. If this is not the case for you, check the following docs entry:

Enable record conversations for a table

Best regards,
