    Hi,
    create a file in the path /custom/modules/<module>/clients/base/views/create/create.php

    in the create.php file

    $viewdefs['<module>']['base']['view']['create']['panels'][0]=array (

    'name' => 'panel_header',
    'header' => true,
    'fields' =>
    array (
    0 =>
    array (
    'name' => 'picture',
    'type' => 'avatar',
    'width' => 42,
    'height' => 42,
    'dismiss_label' => true,
    'readonly' => true,
    ),
    1 => 'name',
    2 =>
           array(
     'type' => 'rowaction',
      'event' => 'button:validate_postal_code:click',
     'name' => 'validate_postal_code', 
    'label' => 'LBL_VALIDATE_POSTAL_CODE',
     'acl_action' => 'view',),
    ),
    ),
    hope it will be useful.

    sorry but it didn't work it out . I guess this approach is for older versions. 

    I don't have create folder inside my view folder for sugar 10.3 enterprise.

    Please suggest if any other way toadd button on create view.

    I followed this document and i am able to add button on record view. But my question is how to add button on create view not on saved view.

    Please suggest any other way .

    Hi Gautam,

    You have to create the Create Directory inside the custom folder of your module and add the required code to get the button as Nithin Kolipaka has suggested.

    One more thing is Sugar is going to release a new field type called Button from Sugar 11.1 release, where you can do this kind of thing from the Studio itself. This release is coming in July. 

    Hope this helps Slight smile

    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi    Please refer to attached screenshot. Button is added but the as you can see in the image below ,entire record view is disappeared. Please check the code below :

    /custom/modules/<module>/clients/base/views/create/create.php

    <?php
    $viewdefs['']['base']['view']['create']['panels'][0] = array(

    'name' => 'panel_header',
    'header' => true,
    'fields' => array(
    0 => array(
    'name' => 'picture',
    'type' => 'avatar',
    'width' => 42,
    'height' => 42,
    'dismiss_label' => true,
    'readonly' => true,
    ) ,
    1 => 'name',
    2 => array(
    'type' => 'rowaction',
    'event' => 'button:add_button:click',
    'name' => 'add_button',
    'label' => 'LBL_ADD_BUTTON_LABEL',
    'dismiss_label' => true,
    'css_class' => 'btn btn-primary',
    'acl_action' => 'view',
    ) ,
    ) ,
    );

    Hi ,   I just watched the 11.1 release webinar and as mentioned above sugar will add custom button into studio....   you may want to wait for that?  Looks like it will much easier.

    Thank you .. It was done .. I missed to provide panel body in the code... 

    Alignment is not correct ..any idea regarding that ? button should come just before Cancel button.
