I’ve modified one of the existing buttons on our classic MES screen to open a dashboard using this knowledge base article: KB0029127
And it works properly. Now I’m trying to modify a second button on the supervisor tab for time and expense entry but I can’t get a second button to work. These are existing blank MES buttons, not ones I’ve made myself.
I can enable the button but in the script editor I only seem to get one set of codes for one button. I’m sure that somehow I need to identify the second button and set its launchform to the correct menu ID. I just can’t seem to figure that part out. I did a search and tried following the steps here but my buttons don’t show up in the form event wizard
Here’s my code. I’m sure I’m missing a simple step somewhere. I’m going to bed now, I’ve been working too long on this tonight.
TIA

I would just put a custom button over the button and bring that to the front over the native button if it is giving you problems. Then just use the event wizard for the custom button click event.
I figured it out this morning. It’s just a matter of duplicating all the lines of code for the first button and naming the second one “btnDash2”
For anyone else wanting to try this here is my code for 2 buttons. You can copy it and change the Guid and Menu ID.
Sometimes just walking away from a problem for a bit can help find the solutions.
