Help with a button

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by CU13012033-0 12
 

In my SharePoint site, I have a folder within the "Shared Documents" library, and inside this folder, there is a subfolder containing various images.

I created a flow to perform specific actions on the images within the subfolder. To trigger the flow, I added a column (configured as a button), and clicking the button initiates the flow.

However, I am facing an issue: the button is also appearing in the parent folder, which I do not want. How can I get rid of it. Thanks in advance .

    Thank you for choosing Microsoft Power Platform Community.
     
     
    To remove the button from the parent folder while keeping it in the subfolder, you can try the following steps:
     
    Break Inheritance: Navigate to the parent folder where you don't want the button to appear. Go to the folder's settings and stop inheriting permissions from the parent. This will allow you to set unique permissions for this folder.
     
    Adjust Permissions: Once you've broken the inheritance, you can adjust the permissions so that the button column is not visible in the parent folder. You can do this by modifying the column settings or using custom scripts to hide the button.
     
    Custom Scripts: If you're comfortable with using custom scripts, you can use SharePoint Framework (SPFx) extensions to hide the button in the parent folder. This involves writing a script that targets the specific HTML element of the button and hides it.

    I assume you are using Column Formatting, in SharePoint? If yes, from that I know, You can apply conditions based on either [$ContentType] or [$ContentTypeId]
