Hello,
I need to get all checked items from the listview after performing some action from the action button from the client script.
Is this possible?
Thank you

  • Create a custom script for the doctype that you want to add the button to. You can do this by going to Custom Script List and clicking on New.

  • In the custom script, write a function that gets the checked items from the list view using

frappe.get_list_view().get_checked_items()

  • Write another function that performs the action that you want to do with the checked items. For example, if you want to update a field value for each checked item, you can use frappe.call to call a server-side method that does the update.

  • Add a button to the list view using

frappe.listview_settings['Doctype Name'].onload = function(listview) { listview.page.add_menu_item('Button Label', function() { // your code here }); }

Replace ‘Doctype Name’ with your doctype name and ‘Button Label’ with your button label. In the function, call the functions that you wrote in the previous steps.

  • Save and reload the list view to see the button.
    Here is an example of a client script that adds a button to the Payment Entry list view that updates the status of all checked items to ‘Paid’:
// get checked items from list view
function get_checked_items() {
  return frappe.get_list_view().get_checked_items();
}

// update status of checked items to 'Paid'
function update_status(items) {
  frappe.call({
    method: 'custom_app.custom_app.doctype.payment_entry.payment_entry.update_status',
    args: {
      items: items
    },
    callback: function(r) {
      if (r.message) {
        frappe.msgprint(r.message);
      }
      frappe.get_list_view().refresh();
    }
  });
}

// add button to list view
frappe.listview_settings['Payment Entry'].onload = function(listview) {
  listview.page.add_menu_item('Mark as Paid', function() {
    var items = get_checked_items();
    if (items.length > 0) {
      update_status(items);
    } else {
      frappe.msgprint('Please select some items first.');
    }
  });
}

I hope this will help.

Thanks,

Thank you for the response,
In the above code, this is adding a custom button in the menu but my need is : from the action button the action is already present from the workflow action.
e.g. I created the workflow action “Approve”,
Here my need is I checked 5 items, and then from the action button I select Approve, As soon as I approve these items from the action button Get all checked items.
