Hello,
I have created a custom table extending the OOTB "Interaction" table.
By opening a record of the custom table, I see the following UI Actions.
What is the best practice in order to hide such UI Actions, without affecting the parent table?
This means, that e.g., Create Incident should be hidden on the custom table, but still available on the Interaction table.
Thank you,
Smith.

you have to exclude the table in the corresponding declarative action assignment record.

simply create a copy of the OOTB UI action, change it to your table and keep same action name and make that inactive
1) search "Compose Email" and open that UI action, Ensure you are in Global Scope
2) change the table to your table, keep action name same
3) make it active=false
4) Do Insert and Stay
