Unfortunately, at the moment, that specifically can't be customized (it is hard coded in the source code). Normally, this is done by adding a custom column to the table. The column can either be a button to do the action you want or you could add a custom layout view which means you could put pretty much any UI you want there, including a drop down with a list of extra actions.

Yes think even a button would work, I could run a python script when clicked.
Thanks.

so i created a button using the column manager, I set the widget to button and in the script path i have given a simple print statements, it works fine when i do it as a trigger but not when i add it to a button.

when i use the trigger i get the proper output that is
running python code

or does the button only support java script?
And one more this.. can we add a pop up , like a validation to check and show a warning if the status is not approved.

hey remko, I got it figured out.. you can skip this. thanks
RE: Adding custom right click menu - remkonoteboom - 03-13-2020
No problem. Just to further on this: javascript has full access to the API. This allows you to combine server side interaction with what occurs in the client side.
var server = TACTIC.get()
server.update(search_key, {...})
That is a simple example for single updates. We try to use promises whenever we can, which the api supports with any function prepended with "p_":
var server = TACTIC.get()
server.p_execute_cmd( cmd_class, kwargs)
.then( function(ret_val) {
... do some javascript
} )
catch( function(e) {
... handle some errors
} )
This will make asynchronous calls to the server and also catch and handle errors properly. Many of the API functions have promise equivalents.

sounds cool, just starting to dig into all this.. thanks a lot for the help. Never did anything with javascript, so think this would be a good reason to start it.
