Action Button to add line of text

Hi,I have a text field which is used as a manually updated history for a document flow.

Contents are typically lines saying “Sent to government for verification”, “Document sent to customer for signature”, or something else. I have identified approx 10 different standard lines, that are used in approc 95% of the times.

My users have requested “something”, that can add any of these standard lines, to the field.

I know that they normally do not have the document in “Edit Mode”, they only edit the document to write the text.

So I would like to make something for them, that can allow them to select the text while it is in “read only mode”, and then have a script to insert the line in the field, and close the document.

The only thing I can come to think of that can achieve this is a button, they must click on, and select the text from a box.

But it would be easier (for the users) if it was possible to make something like a combobox, that could be used when the document is in read mode, and I then had a script to insert the value in the document.

Does anyone have a good idea, that could be used like this ?

Best, Jesper

Try a Cascading Action button, and see if they like that.

Your actions would be called (where TextN is the actual text you want to add) …

Add History … \Text1

Add History … \Text2

Add History … \Text10

Then they would see an Action Button called Add History … and if they click on it, the 10 options show up underneath. Here’s an example …
