Hello,

I'm trying to add some additional logic for the default Resume action in ICN and I've tried several approaches already and all have ran into various blockers. My main need is to be able to set resume to not allow to be performed on multiple objects and then be able to launch the resume and then perform some additional logic after. I've tried leveraging the commonActionsHandler and several other methods within a custom Resume action, so would this be the correct approach or would there be a better way to address this?

Note: This is for a CM8 repository.

Thank you,

Hi,

So just to make sure that I’ve understood your requirement correctly: you want to prevent Resume from being used on multiple selected objects, execute the Resume action, and then run some additional logic after that.

In that case, I would avoid hooking too deeply into the default Resume action. It can quickly become fragile.

I would rather create a dedicated custom Resume action in an ICN plug-in, hide or replace the standard one in the target menu, and control the enablement there.

So if more than one item is selected, the action is simply disabled. Then, from your custom action, you can call the Resume logic and execute your additional processing in the success callback, or server-side through a plug-in service if it must be guaranteed.

So yes, a custom action might sound like the right direction, but I would treat it as a clean wrapper/replacement of the OOTB Resume action, not as a deep customization of it.
