How to extend the Action Button to add custom action ?

Question: Given that you are looking to customise anyway, why don't you add a completely custom button then? It could call your API or do whatever you need to.

It might be easier than attempting to try to extend Action Button, which I feel might become brittle with upgrades as well.

Hi Enrico Simonetti ,

we know how to create custom button with custom code.

But with the new and very cool actionbutton feature, it would be great to define button the same way, with a setting screen but also benefit the actionbutton settings (embed the button in the header or the record layout, the list layout, the focus drawer layout etc.).

So without re-code everything, I was looking for a way to extend core actionButton to define my new action.

Depending on what you want to do with the custom action, you could perhaps use a custom Sugar Formula to do the dirty work OR go with Enrico's suggestion of creating a completely custom button that's not tied to the ActionButton stuff.
I'd avoid extending it as it seems like asking for trouble down the line.
