How to edit the UI action on "Actions on selected rows" on sc_task table, under Approvers tab?

Good evening.!
How to edit this UI action button "Request approval" on sc_task table, under Approvers tab?

I want to either edit it to write a script or, remove it? Please help. (Also, please ignore the other "Request Approval" button on the context menu. That is a custom button.)

I think, We can’t hide a UI Action from the list Choice (like on sc_task) using a condition 

However, we can disable the functionality of that UI Action instead.

I handled this by creating a Script Include to check the table name and then used it in the UI Action’s condition.
Script Include:

Ui action:

Result:
sc_req_item table:

Yeah @Ankur Bawiskar ., still it is not working. Please help.

@AbdurRahmanSnow 

try this

1) In existing UI action add this extra condition I highlighted in bold

current.state == 'not requested' && RP.isRelatedList() && parent.getTableName() != 'sc_task'

Hi @tejarekanda .
Thank you so much. This script include worked and the button got greyed-out on SCTASK.
Really appreciate your help. You saved my day.
