Hi Nirmala, 

That's right. By creating a new one with the table field pointing to your table it will not affect the global one. 

Thanks,

Hi Nirmala,

If you want to overwrite inbuilt global update ui action, don't change functionality of OOTB  update button.

Create new update UI action form button and override action name of global update button so that new update button funcionality will only change for selected table. And there will be no impact on other tables.

Here are the steps to override update button:

1.filter UI action Table-> global

2. find action name of global update button.

3.select table name 

4.copy action name of global update button in new update to override update action.

If my answer helped you in any way, mark answer as helpful and correct.

Thanks and regards,

Megha.

Hey Nirmala,

The Update button is of global table try find out in UI action,make it active false. but if you are making it false it will hide for all tables in ServiceNow.

Right click on header and click insert and stay change the table name to Custom table name  and use same action name and save.

To know the process of override ui action refer below link,

Hi Indrajit,

Thank you for the response. It helped me in solution but it would be better if you could tell me how to hide update button only for my custom table on condition.

Example: If A=='true'{hide the update button of my table}
