Hey @Anitha,

SuiteCRM 8 uses angular, I don’t think that code will work.

I searched the forum for suitecrm 8 add button and found the following which might help you:

SuiteCRM 8 Extensions

Hi @rumburak, Welcome to the community ! and thanks for trying out SuiteCRM 8. The documentation on how to do this on SuiteCRM 8 has not been added yet.

Make the button appear on the front end Note the following example comes from core but you should add it to the public/legacy/cu…

Problem adding a simple button to SuiteCRM 8 Account's detailview

Hi @pat, Thank you. Yes I think I understand what the goal is. Creating a custom modal is hard, takes a good amount of time and requires a good knowledge of angular and of the frontend extension framework. There are 2 alternatives that you could try before going down the custom modal path. Option 1. Add 4 buttons to re-direct to reports, each for a single report. There is an easy way to redirect to other pages when a button is pressed. You need to return a redirect handler in the response o…

Error occurs when clicking custom button in suitecrm 8

Hello @gogeek Regarding the issues you’ve mentioned: Add a custom button in the detailview - Action tab. To add the button you need to add a new entry to the new recordActions in detailviewdefs. There are important things to have in mind: The key (add-custom-button) should be a unique name, as it will also be used to identify the process that is going to handle that action. Make sure to set ‘asyncProcess’ => true, as you want a process that is handled in the backend. By the way by…

The following page on the documentation might also help, since the threads above mention the Process:

Lastly, I’ve also tried to search for actions in all listviewdefs.php files. Found the Accounts ‘records-to-target-list’ bulk action example on the core code which might be useful:

file: public/legacy/modules/Accounts/metadata/listviewdefs.php

sample code:

        'bulkActions' => [
            'actions' => [
                'records-to-target-list' => [
                    'key' => 'records-to-target-list',
                    'labelKey' => 'LBL_ADD_TO_PROSPECT_LIST_BUTTON_LABEL',
                    'modes' => ['list'],
                    'acl' => ['edit'],
                    'aclModule' => 'prospect-lists',
                    'params' => [
                        'selectModal' => [
                            'module' => 'ProspectLists'
                        ],
                        'allowAll' => false,
                        'max' => 200
                    ]
                ],

Then by searching for records-to-target-list in the codebase found the following, which should be the handler for the records-to-target-list:
