How do you create a button that changes all the values in a column?

Hi,

I would like to add a action button on a deck view.

The action : "Data: execute an action on a set of rows"

WHY this button don't appear on the deck view BUT only in a detail view ?? I need to trigger this action from the deck view.

Thanks,

hi Check the marked places.

No, I'm sorry but in that case, the button appears in the Primary position BUT only in a detail view. And that's not logical. The button has to appear in the Deck view (with all the records)

What you want to do is not possible: you cannot add a button on a deck view (or any non-detail view) that affects the rows shown in the view. The buttons displayed in non-deck view can only add a row, navigate, or export.

If you can somehow display a detail view that contains the deck view as an inline view, a button on the detail view could act on the rows of the inline deck view.

For me, it's a lack of functionality !
In my case, i would to add a button that reset all the "status" column of the database to "not started".
What is the best practise ?
Thanks

Create a custom search & filter feature and present it in a dashboard view.

My button will appear in a dashboard view ? I will test that

No. A custom search & filter solution will require an additional table for storing filter options or each user, a slice to identify the current user's filter options, a detail view on the slice of the current user's filter options, a slice on the table to be filtered that uses the current user's filter options in its row filter expression, a deck view on the slice of the table to be filtered, and a dashboard view that includes these detail and deck views. Your buttons to affect all rows would be presented in the detail view and would act on rows in the slice.

Ok 😕
I understand that there are no elegant solutions for changing all the values in a column at the touch of a button.
I think this would be an interesting feature? no?

Thanks
