How to add linktoview to a virtual column value or add Display Name to an inline action?

Hi,

I have an inline table on a detail view, when the inline view has no items I want to hide that inline table, and display a row instead which says Add New CR.

The first way I tried half worked, I added a new row, added an inline action doing what I need, and it works, however my issue is there doesn’t seem to be any way to display the name of the action? It only seems to show the icon and ignores the display name. If I could show the display name next to the action item, this would be perfect, job done.

Thew above technically works, but the only clickable thing is the little plus button at the right, its easy to miss so I want additional text to make it stand out more.

Since that didn’t work, I then tried to go down the path of setting the new row to app type, and entering the code there to link to the correct view, same as the action was doing. My issue here is the code is just displayed in line, and isn’t clickable. What I want there is a link thats hidden and text displayed thats clickable, exactly what a hyperlink does. I did also try using a hyperlink, and tried using hyperlink type instead of app type, it didn’t like that so I wrapped then linktoform within a hyperlink function, and that looked how I want but clicking it did nothing.

Yes, in the detail view, the inline action does not display its name on hovering. Workaround options could be to use format rule to increase the size and color of the action icon and adding text to display name of the column itself.

The action will then look something like below

It slightly helps, but it just changes the size and colour of it, im wanting text to be displayed to make it more dominant and visible. particularly on an iPad or web browser on a wide screen, there is a huge space between the column name on the left and the plus button at the right side of the screen

Got it. That is the way the current UI is. Maybe the newly released desktop view changes will address it. Please follow that thread for new changes, though not sure if your issue is addressed or not.

The suggested approach was anyway a workaround to make it better with available options.
