I can make an action button with your supplied sample code, to put a “assign to me” button on every record:

```auto
const api = context.getService("fibery");
await Promise.all(args.currentEntities.map((e) => api.assignUser(e.type, e.id, args.currentUser.id)));

```

Is there a way now, to control the display of the button, so that, if I am already assigned, it does not appear?

Unfortunately this is not possible yet, but we have that in plans

Hi there – I’ve started to play with Action buttons and quickly faced the same need.

Button visibility management – based on some formula or field value – and Button label customization – e.g. change a “Mark as stuck” button name/label to “Unstuck” on a Task.

Any chance to have such improvements in the future or shall I start working on tampermonkey script 😁

Very interested in this feature.

Sometime we want to create a function where different actions can be done. And this action will depend on the current state of different fields.

Let’s say we want to start something with a button and we need to be able to stop it with another button. The **Stop** is firstly hidden and when we click on **Start** button, the **Stop** button appears and the **Start** button is hidden.

If it can be implemented on the same Button, I think it can be great so it limits the number of created stuff.
