Button inconsistency

Hi Team,

Happy Holidays!

When using a button-container, one can use ‘data-sources’ in the field-label.

When using buttons in a menu-container, this isn’t possible.

Can this be ‘fixed’?

Thanks,

David

I’ve also noticed, that when adding a link (instead of a button) one can choose it’ s ‘variant’: a link or a button. When starting out with adding a button, that choice isn’t present.

Happy holidays @DavidCeulemans !

I’ve created an issue for allowing formulas in the Menu element item.

As for the Button vs Link element, it’s something we need to discuss internally. But they are fundamentally two different elements:

  • A Button can be configured with an event (a workflow action like show notification, open link, etc)
  • A Link is an anchor link and doesn’t have events per-se. The ability to style the link as a button is just altering its visual appearance.

I’ll get back to you on this once we’ve had a chance to chat within the team.

hi @DavidCeulemans - I had a chat with the team. We intend to merge the Button and Link elements at some point, which should make things a bit less confusing and more consistent. Here is the GitHub issue in case you want to track it.
