Option for Inline-attached actions to NOT replace column's value/header in Table view

[Marc_Dillon]

Got an address column in my table, and an auto-generated view-map action that is attached inline. Looks fine in detail view:

But hides the address in table view, which is no good because that’s one of the main things that the user looks at to determine which record they are seeing.

Attaching the action to another column would stop it from showing in the right spot in the detail view. This has bugged me for a very long time, just now getting around to posting an actual feature request. Could put the option in UX->Options under the “TABLE VIEW” section, or in column/action definition.

How do I display an inline action and the con... Questions

Come to find out, it IS the intended behavior… i.e. a phone number turns into a phone icon action…

Thought/Question:

What if you edit the system generated action “Only if this condition is true” to
CONTEXT("ViewType")<>"Table"?

I’ve never tried it in this manner before, but I’m curious what the behavior would be.

[Marc_Dillon]

Good thought. Appears to not work though, the action still shows in the table view (inline table in this case). If that did work though, you could make 2 actions, one attached to another column for table view, and one attached to main column for detail view. I’d still prefer a switch option.

Dang, I was hopeful I came up with a cool trick.

You might be able to create a virtual column with a formula equal to your address column, make it “text” and not “address” column type, and have that virtual column be in your table view, but only the original address field in your detail view.

Wanting this feature today for the hundredth time…

Saying that you don’t like making button and non button duplicate columns all the time?

Dealing with inline actions replacing values and header in table views by default is slowly destroying my soul.

[Marc_Dillon]

With the new INPUT() expression, I find myself creating many more inline-attached Actions than before. Such as 1 Action per editable column. And I like each Action to be next to the column that it is editing. So now this feature request is even more important.

Bout to add “actiol_col5” to the above…

I wholeheartedly agree this a must!
