Grayed out OOTB actions when WTPart type object NOT having "Resulting Change Exists" indicator

[V_THAKARE]

Grayed out below OOTB four action buttons when WTPart type object NOT having "Resulting Change Exists" indicator.

OOTB Action buttons to be grayed out :

1)Check Out

2)Check Out and Edit

3)Edit

4)Edit Common Attributes.

Which is best way to Grayed out OOTB action buttons:

1)Filters

2)Validators

[jbailey]

The actions available on an object should be based on ACL's and a user's role in a team and the lifecycle state of the objects

If the object is not resulting from a change, and is in a final state (ex released)... then only Change Admin II or an org/site admin would see those.

[V_THAKARE]

But I want to add some other users/groups apart from Change Admin II or an org/site admin.

What is your opinion.

Hi @V_THAKARE 

You asked for a custom function that disables the actions from menu if the object is not part of a change result table.

Understand.

So you ask for Filter or Validator, It is a same thing

Validator is a class where code is written and filter is a xml parameter in the customAction.xml file that points to the validator class

ps the com.ptc.core.ui.validation.DefaultSimpleValidationFilter is extendable class that can be used. 

so your requirement is doable with validator/filter.

PetrH,

Let me try extendable class (DefaultSimpleValidationFilter).

Thank you for your support.

Hi PetrH,

Can I use API isHasResultingChange(): boolean for WTPart to check state of object?

Do you have any sample code for this, so that I can get some idea.

Hi @V_THAKARE 

Here is a helper with an example input to get what you need.

if you use true, the Activity is return if you use false, the link Record is returned.

QueryResult var7 = ChangeHelper2.service.getLatestChangeItem(wtpx, "theChangeActivity2", wt.change2.ChangeActivity2.class, wt.change2.ChangeRecord2.class, true);
