How to remove/hide a workflow action button from the form's action menu?

1

Hello, this code works on the list view:

var edit = listview.$page.find(`[data-label='Edit']`);
edit.hide();
edit.parent().hide(); 
edit.parent().parent().hide();

The button I need to remove/hide is a workflow action button in form:

quita

I tried this code:

var quitar = frm.page.actions.find(`[data-label='Quitar']`);
quitar.hide();
quitar.parent().hide(); 
quitar.parent().parent().hide();

but it doesn’t work.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @VictorHugo99,

Please try it.

frm.page.actions.find('[data-label="Quitar"]').parent().parent().remove();

Then reload and check it.

Thank You!

use this

frappe.ui.form.on('Doctype', {
    refresh: function(frm) {
        frm.$wrapper. Find('.actions-btn-group .dropdown-menu li a: contains("action_name")').parent().addClass('hidden');
    }
});

Hi @VictorHugo99,

It worked on my side in version-14.
I applied in lead doctype to remove the help option from action button.

Before:

After:

Code:

frappe.ui.form.on('Lead', {
	refresh: function(frm) {
	    setTimeout(() => {
	        frm.page.actions.find('[data-label="Help"]').parent().parent().remove();
	    }, 500);
	}
});

Thank You!

After including the setTimeout function, the code worked. It seems that I was trying to remove the button before it was loaded.

Thank you very much for the help.

check it and set it.

Then reload and check it.

If not worked then increase time.

This works:

frm.page.actions.find(‘[data-label=“Help”]’).parent().parent().remove();

This is not:

frm.page.actions.find(‘[data-label=“Prepared MAF SCS”]’).parent().parent().remove();

Difference:

Help
is standard action

Prepared MAF SCS
is custom action from Workflow Actions

Hello, it may not be working due to spacing, try this:

[data-label="Prepared%20MAF%20SCS"]

If it doesn’t work, you need to inspect the data-label of the button using the browser’s inspector.

It works! Thanks!
