Dynamic number of buttons in a single field

1

Hello community,

I have several button columns in a table and I want to concatenate only some of them in a single field dynamically depending on some conditions using the button() formula. I have not been able to make it work yet.

My use-case is a bit more complex but you can boil down what doesn’t work to this. Could somebody explain how to make this work?

list(thisRow.Button1,thisRow.Button2).WithName(
  lst,
  button(lst.First(),"Button text")
)

Thanks!
Pablo

For extra context, this is the actual formula that I’m trying to build, with group1 to 5 being buttons.

Hi @Pablo_Duart,

I have been running some tests and found that even in it’s simplest form you cannot reference a button column in a list and then use that to make another button.

For example this does not work:

And this just returns the action and not the button:

Returns:

However if you put the custom buttons in the list directly then you can reference them.

It is worth noting that you cannot mix the two and do:

I think that referencing a button column in a list does not store it at a button or anything that you can make into a button, but by directly saying in the list “this is a button” it stores it as such. This allows you to call it back to display but not to use it as a button to make a button. If you tried it would essentially be the same as doing this:

Which also doesn’t work.

As for the dynamic part, I wasn’t sure exactly what you were aiming for but I did set up this test document with some of my testing. Take a look at the Dynamic Buttons Test column to see how I am working with Sequence to cycle through a LIST of custom buttons.

If you would like further help I think you will need to share a test document with some added detail on what you are trying to acheive.

All the best
