How to Overwrite Update button function

[Nirmala B]

I have created customized table. In that I have to Overwrite Update button function. I'm not able to find the Update button in UI action list. Anyone help in how to overwrite function of Update button.

Hi, can you clarify why you need to overwrite the Update button and what changes you need to make to it?
If it is the global Update button, you would be better off leaving it OOB, and if you have a valid requirement for your new table, hidding the OOB global button and creating a new table specific one of your own.

Update is a global UI Action.  If you need to change it on your custom table, you can create a new UI Action called Update with the same action name on the custom table and modify how you want it to function.

Although I beg to wonder what do you want the update button to do differently?

Hi @Nirmala B 

The UI action that you're looking for is here:

https://yourinstanceurl/nav_to.do?uri=sys_ui_action.do?sys_id=42df02e20a0a0b340080e61b551f2909

As others have mentioned, make sure you're aware of what you're doing. Don't modify this record but rather change the table field to your custom table and then do "Insert and Stay" so you can start working on the UI action with the additional operations you want to do in top of the out of the box update logic.

Thanks,

Hi Berny,

Thank you.

I need to modify only for one of my custom table. 

Can you confirm that should I have to create a new UI action record with same Update Action name and table as my custom table.

By doing this it will not affect global record correct.
