Run Script by Push Button

[obourne]

I'd like the ability to run a script by pushing abutton in the workspace item and not have to rely upon a state transition to do so. There are times where I want to create an item but use data from an existing item (the one I'm in at that time) and then link them together via the relationships tab. I want to do this without a state change (because state change would not be needed to simply link to items). I realize I can change behaviors to run a script upon creation that could do much of the same. It just makes sense to NOT to have to navigate away from where I'm at and then remeber what I want to link to. I'm all about automation.

I have a similar request.  At the moment, I create a transition to the same state and make it available to a particular Role.  I tend to hide the transition from the Workflow Actions chart, since it can mess up the interface.

The action doesn't cause a state transition and only executes your script.  This give me the control to have many scripts available to users as they move along the primary states.

This is a great idea, we'll work on getting this one in quickly!

This would be awsome. You can have it as a field in the items details tab. You can push the button and the script is run. Or maybe as a button for the whole workspace. This could make everything much more easy.
