How to Hide Declarative Action in Record List Component Based on Parent Record Field Value?

[hamidouche]

Hello Community,

I'm trying to conditionally hide a Declarative Action ("New") in a Record List Component within a workspace based on the parent record's field value.

Setup:

• Parent Table: x_parent_table (appears in workspace)
• Child Table: x_child_table (related list via Record List Component)
• Relationship: Child Table has a reference field cfem pointing to parent
• Goal: Hide the "New" action when parent.stage = 'locked'

What I've Tried:

1. Client Conditions in Declarative Action:

• The Action Model Fields dropdown doesn't include any parent or parentRecord field
• Only shows fields from the Facilities table itself (query, count, groupBy, limit, page, etc.)
• No access to parent record context

2. Script Condition in Declarative Action:

javascript

var cfemGR = new GlideRecord(childTable);
if (cfemGR.get(current.cfem)) {
    return cfemGR.getValue('stage') != 'locked';
}
return true;

• current is not available in this context
• Script condition doesn't execute or has no effect

Limitations Found:

• Declarative Actions don't have access to current record in Script Conditions when used in Record List Components
• Client Conditions Action Model doesn't expose parent record context
• Cannot reference parent fields through the child relationship

Question:

How can I conditionally show/hide a Declarative Action in a Record List Component based on the parent record's field value?

Is this possible through:

• UI Builder component configuration?
• Client State Parameters?
• A different approach entirely?

Any guidance or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!
