UI action for list and form

[Elena Pomana]

Hello,

I have an UI action that is applied on both list and form. The button contains a script include and I have some calculations in it.

What I want to do is to redirect to current form when the UI action is clicked from form and of course, redirect to list when the UI action is clicked from the list.

I was thinking to add in my script something like:

if(clickedfromlist){ //no clue how to "call this"

var url=current.getTableName()+'_list.do';
action.setRedirectURL(url);

}else{

action.setRedirectURL(current);

}

If there any way to do it?

Thank you,

Elena

Hello, 

Thank you for your answer! I checked the link and it isn't exactly what I need. My code in the UI action is server side.

Thank you,

Hi,

you can determine the URL and know if it's form or list in client side

Is your UI action purely server side?

Hi Ankur,

My code is purely server side.

It worked good for the form but I have a new requirement that needs to calculate "delta" for more records in a list.

I can create a similar UI action for list, that has a different redirect but I thought there is another solution to utilize the existing one.

Here is the code:

var addendumSysId = current.sys_id.toString();
var addendumChangeDate = current.u_change_date;
var addendumValEndDate = current.u_price_validity_end_date;

new AddendumTotalValue().calculateDelta(addendumSysId, addendumChangeDate, addendumValEndDate);

action.setRedirectURL(current);

What do you think is the best practice?

Thank you,

Elena
