Show record action only in interface.

Question

Hello. 
 I created a record action "create new XXX" but i want it to be only shown in the interfaces i create. Not in the record list. 
 If i change the visibility of this record action to false it's not shown in the record list but also it's not visible in the interface i use it with. 
 ChatGPT says:

But there is not section called "availability" and no "show only in interface" option is to be found anywhere.

Just a general suggestion - I would not rely on ChatGPT for steps on how to configure things in Appian. Although its response is confident, there are several things that are flat out wrong: 
 
 There are no configurations in record types for "properties panel", "Availability section" or "show only in interface option" 
 You don't publish record actions 
 You can't add actions to buttons 
 
 If you have questions, I'd suggest relying on the Community here first! As long as you provide context for what issue you're having, I think the members of the Community will be more reliable than ChatGPT

Okay. 
 So, the alternative Stefan suggested is the only way to achieve this. 
 If you set the visibility to false then it will not be visible anywhere, instead create a read only grid with the same record as data source which will look like an exact replica of record list except there will be no record action in it and then use that interface on the site in place of record list. No need to set any visibility.
