I am trying to set a field in the base of my Custom Action method but my problem is that i cannot find any current row , cause i don’t modify anything. So if I have to change a field on the dashboard to trigger the custom action what is the point of it? Might as well call the update method.

Thanks,

generally with a custom action, you make a field that you can modify, like a check box or something. If you are changing something on all of the rows, than update is fine. If you want something specific, you use custom action.

Thanks, just wondering cause I’ve never used custom actions or try until now, the only disadvantage that i can see is that it takes to many steps to and user might complain. D=

It really depends on what you are doing. Generally it ends up in a dashboard and you can automate the pain a bit.

I found custom actions to be useful to affect ALL rows, not just updated ones (although you can add your own conditional logic)
