Your question is bit not clear to me.

When we click on custom action, do you want something like below?

Clicking on custom action should open up one dialogue/form.
After filling up the data , it should get redirected to a new page which displayed the properties in edit/view mode.

What is the exact business requirement for this?

Hi Krutik!

Thanks for the response.

Yes, that's exactly what we want. Get user input data via form and when submit - open custom page displaying entered data by user and properties from the container where this action was executed.

Let's suppose tha folder has properties:

First Name: Oleh

Last Name: Lylak

User execute custom action and enter additional values using form:

Product: Book

Amount: 100

After form submit we want to be redirected to custom page showing those values.

I want to know how I can achive it? possible solutions.

Thanks

Well its bit difficult, but you can achieve this.

Basically you need to use javascript function for this.Default javascript function like onActionFormDialog or onActionSimpleRepoAction are defined in below file on alfresco share.

share-war\components\documentlibrary\actions.js

You can take reference of above mentioned functions in the actions.js file and create new javascript function as per the requirement and finally redirect user to edit properties or the page which want.
