Is it possible to add a button to the details form in SOW for an Incident?

[gsimoes]

Is there a way to add a button to the Details Form for an incident?  I'm mainly curious re: SOW, but it's fine if it shows up on the form in the portal also. When I go into Form Builder, the only options for components are annotations and sections. I'm wondering if there's something I can create/add in order to add a button like the blue item in this picture:

I've already setup UI actions and had this function from related links and also from the action bar, I was hoping to have it more intuitively located on the form (and also more "restricted" in terms of visibility to the details section, so I was wondering if this is possible.  Thanks

Great question!
I also got same confusion first time but don’t worry, it’s super easy to test 😁

 First go to Navbar Search for  UI Actions

👉Then click New

Now just fill these things step by step:

• Name → write Employee Button (whatever you wanna name your button)

• Table → select e.g: Employee Onboarding (whatever table you are working on)

• Order → keep 100

• Active → tick it ✅

• Show insert → tick it ✅

• Show update → tick it ✅

• In the options, select Form button (this will show button under the form fields).

  

Now scroll down to the Script field and paste this small code:

(function executeAction(current, gForm) {
    // client side alert
    alert("Employee Button clicked successfully!");

    // server side info message (page reload pe dikhega)
    gs.addInfoMessage("Employee Button executed on Employee Onboarding record");
})(current, gForm);

That’s it! 🙌

After saving, go open any record from your  table.
Now you will see your Button
When you click → you get an alert popup, and also one info message will show after refresh.
After saving, I opened Employee Onboarding record and now you can see my Employee Button is showing 👇 

Hope this helps!
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Muhammad,

Thanks for that, but I've already done one of those. My question was if I could setup a button IN the form (not in the action bar at the top). So, for example: if I go to Form Builder, I can add in various record fields into the form that are not currently in there, so I was wondering if there is a way that I could add a button alongside or under one of those fields. Like the Form for Task has the Task Number field, would it be possible to put a button next to that field, similar to the "Preview Record" button that some fields have, but this button would call a different script include that I have.

Not possible to add button within form.

If you go with UI actions then those will come on top in SOW always.
