Support link operation in other columns than the action menu

English Forum

Hello

The Link feature is currently supported in the action menu:
https://docs.nocobase.com/handbook/ui/actions/types/link

Is there a possibility to also support it in columns, in the future?
In addition to the current popup link option.

For example:
If you use the first column of a table as a title. You could open a new page this way, instead of the action menu.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion.

Currently, the Link feature is not supported directly within table columns.

However, as a workaround, you can use a popup menu with the open mode set to “Page”. This will behave similarly to opening a new page when the action is triggered.

Hi

Thank you for your reply and suggestion.

Yes, this is how it is currently set up. However I noticed it can slow down the app quite a bit, if you use too many popup screens.
Popup > popup > popup with on each filtered results.

But it works, indeed!

My workaround is to use one of the existing options (page, dialog, drawer), usually drawer, and then I have a variable for the say product by Id page and I append the $env variable for that page and the record id inside markdown.

This is a huge time waster an not good UX. A plugin to allow developers to specify a centralized “collection list” and “collection by id” page for each collection would be ideal. Just filter pages where the current record is that collection type and allow a selection.

EDIT: I want to quickly praise the nocobase team for their work. I’m seeing if I can make my own plugin to do this. I just have to append to the url the popup and it will go there!

UPDATE 2: Ah, popups are tied to the form field, makes sense, but if you delete that form field, then the popup also goes I believe. Hmmm, this might not be such a great idea or very difficult. I’m seeing a need for a popup that is not tied to the field, but the associated resource collection… it’s so close to working, I just don’t know how to not end up in a situation where everything links to the popuup of one field and then that field is deleted…
