g_list undefined on task table ui action

[AdriaM]

Hi all,

I want to define a UI Action over task table, and I've some kind of poltergeist.

When the UI Action is defined against task table it does not work (g_list is undefined). If I change task table to sc_req_item table the UI action works.

Someone knows what is happening?

The UI Action definition is as follows:

Name: Test Task UI Action

Table: task

Client: true

List v2 Compatible: true

List Link: true

onClick: testUiAction()

Script:

function testUiAction() {

    alert('tableName=>' + g_list.getTableName());

}

@AdriaM 

what's your business requirement to have that button on Task table which is top level table?

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

You are adding a UI Action to the Task table, which is not a good practice. The Task table is meant to be extended by other tables, and UI Actions should ideally be added to the specific table where they are required, not directly on Task.

Hi @AdriaM ,

the issue is with the List Link

try changing the position of the UI action to somewhere else in the lis

We have a calculated field added to incident and sc_req_item tables that sometimes needs to be recalculated. That's why the UI Action is against task table.

This task of recalculation is an admin task so I prefer not to put it on a button.

I can't put it on a "List Choice" because with this configuration I won't be able to launch the UI action on filtered registers. "List Choices" only get enabled for checked registrers.

Until now, we have left the "List Context Menu" to User Utilities instead of admin utilities.

I see I'll have to create an UI ACtion for each table.
