Hi @SA_9497989

There is no way without editing the WsMenuBarHelper.... (or I've never found it in my notes I wrote that WsMenuBarHelper is not extendable...)

You need a better decompilator.

PS> the class is in a wncWeb.jar so you need to remove the class from that jar file and located it in codebase folder or update it in the file..

as I said, Changing the ws menu is not supported and is too complicated.

Hi @SA_9497989

Workspace customization UI is not supported but it does not mean you can not do it.

I just can say it is hardcoded and very very complicated. I did it several times, but it is time consuming process.

here is an article CS15567 that describes APIs used in Workspace. You can rewrite them and add own function.

com.ptc.windchill.uwgm.cadx.ws.WorkspaceActionsUrlLinkResource

com.ptc.windchill.uwgm.cadx.ws.MselUrlLinkResource

I change an another class where I just add a custom menu function

com.ptc.windchill.uwgm.cadx.ws.WsMenuBarHelper

this api can not be extended so you need to rewrite it and every new version do the customization again.

Hi @SA_9497989

There is not the actionModel name because it does not exists. The menu is defined in a java class .

As I mentioned earlier it is the com.ptc.windchill.uwgm.cadx.ws.WsMenuBarHelper class
