List of inputs to related action

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a task where the expected output involves a grid that allows multiple selections. The user can select three checkboxes and then click a button. Upon clicking, a small popup should appear asking for a meeting name corresponding to the selected three IDs. I tried implementing this using a related action, but it only works for single row selection. It doesn’t support multiple row selection. I also tried using a startProcess link, but it opens a large popup. Since we’re only filling in a single text field (the meeting name), it doesn’t look good occupying the entire screen. Is there any way to achieve this more effectively? Thanks in advance!

In your case, it's not possible to use the related action because we are processing multiple records. For StartProcess tasks, it's not feasible to control the size of the popup .

Small popups like Related Actions for startProcess() dialogs are not supported. To achieve similar behavior, you can consider 2 options : First, design a custom UI element that appears centered on a semi-transparent overlay (mimicking a UI). Second, implement show/hide logic where a SAIL component appears/disappears based on user actions, creating the illusion of a popup.
