Hello,

I am trying to personnalize the action “new related record”.

I think I need information on category of this action.

It would perhaps be interresting to have the list of existing categories on this page :

Or perhaps give us an idea on how to detect this category (in source code ?).

I tried to add an action [new_related_record] in my native table actions.ini but it does not work.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hi Zabelle,

The easiest way to see the existing categories is to check the Xataface actions.ini file.

Are you wanting to override the new_related_record action so that it behaves a little differently or create a new action in addition to it?

Hello Steve,

And thanks for your rapid answer.

Great help to have a look at the Xataface actions.ini file !

In fact, for my intellectual curiosity, you could answer the two questions …

I would like to suppress the “new_related_record” action button.

I don’t know where to put the command line to cancel the action. I tried to put this in the parent table but this do not work.

Thanks for your help …

You should be able to simply add the following to your application’s actions.ini file.

Code: Select all: [new_related_record] condition="$query['-table'] != 'the_parent_table_name'"

I have been trying the solution you propose and this does not work.

I verified there where no other definition of the new_related_record action elsewhere in my parent table.

Could you verify it actually works ?

Thanks for your help.
