Action confirmation options

[Joseph_Seddik]

Hello,

I don’t get why does Appsheet uses the action name as an option in the action’s confirmation message and why the other option is fixed to “NO”? do they expect us to name all of our displayed actions as “YES”!!!

MOREOVER I DON’T GET WHY APPSHEET SHOWS THE CONFIRMATION MESSAGE’S OPTIONS IN CAPITAL LETTERS. THIS IS UGLY AND ANNOYING AS IF THE APP WERE SHOUTING AT THE USER.

ADDITIONALLY YOU CAN’T USE TWO WORDS OR EVEN ONE LONG WORD BECAUSE OF THIS CAPITALIZATION TAKING A LARGER SPACE, SPLITTING THE OPTION IN TWO UNREADABLE LINES OR OVERLAPPING THE TWO OPTIONS TOGETHER.

Is there a workaround please? Thank you!

P.S. Discourse won’t let me capitalize the topic’s title. Smart!

Edit confirmation message box from action button Questions

Hi all, When you click at the at the action button. There have a confirmation message show up, how could I change “No” to cancel or somethings else ? Thanks [image]

Thanks much! Unfortunately it doesn’t help. I already have localization to another language. Also, this will have a universal effect of all NOs in the application not just one action.

The most annoying is the use of the action name in the confirmation message, as if they were interchangeable, what a terrible idea. AND THESE UNFORTUNATE CAPITALS.

Also, this will have a universal effect of all NOs in the application not just one action.

I suggest you use some expression instead of directly changing the text so that the change is made only for that particular view. U can use If(context(“view”)=“name of view”,“custom txt”,“No”)

If you do this then you can change the NO for any particular view alone.

That will be a long expression, but yes this would work, I guess I’ll have to use it then.

Thanks for your help!

When we're stressed, it's hard to think outside the box. Good tip, and thank you very much.

How can I change the confirmation message to be just Yes without changing the display or action name? The name of the action is visible to the user but there's no way to change the display name for the dialog box exclusively as it is a dialog in the same view where the action is displayed

Dear friend, perhaps you're referring to this.
I've raised it as an idea. Please tag a member of the Appsheet team and vote on the idea so they can see it.
