Related Action In Record Type

Hi all,

In my record type I have a related action, this I am triggering from a UI grid column. The related action points to a PM that performs operations and has no UI associated, but as soon as I hit the related action I am getting a white dialogue box, as if there is a UI in the associate PM, and then closes automatically. Usually if there's a UI the dialogue box would make sense, but why is it coming in my case. It could create a kind of confusion if a UI is coming into picture. Is there any way to disable the dialogue box other than selecting its size?

Have the related action open in "SAME_TAB" instead of "DIALOG".

Have you configured the process start form in your process model? Can you share the screenshots of the dialog box?

Hello Saahil,

Can you please share the screenshot of the UI of the dialogue box which you are representing to?

Hi Dipak and Harshitha,

Here is the SS of that dialogue box.

And Dipak, for your question there is no start form for this particular related action, just passing parameters through context.

    Hi Mathieu,

    Thanks for the suggestion, and this is working. But in my interface the a!recordActionField() holds multiple related actions in a grid column. All related actions are required to open in a dialogue box other than this specific related action. And I think the openActionIn parameter is a collective approach for all the actions defined in a!recordActionField().

    Yes. This is tricky unfortunately. You would need to define 2 recordActionFields instead of one for this to work.

    I would advise just staying with DIALOG for the moment and submitting an enhancement request with Appian support to allow setting the openIn on the recordActionItem rather than than the field.
