How to avoid form opening again after confirming an action

Hello, after adding a delete button in the edit form of my column, when I confirm the delete, the form reopens automatically. The problem is that since the column has been deleted, this causes an error. I tried the ->before() method to be able to cancel the action if the column doesn't exist, without success. Does anyone have an idea how to avoid this? Thanks and sorry if it was something obvious, I tried finding other ways to achieve this without success

maybe cancelParentActions() ? https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/actions/modals#opening-another-modal-from-an-extra-footer-action

I tried like this, but nothing has changed

I think I will have to put directly the delete button on the column because I tried a lot of things and nothing worked for me

hum... not sure if this is related, but you could try an extra footer action https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/actions/modals#adding-an-extra-modal-action-button-to-the-footer

I tried that too but I can't use this in this case because I'm not working with Modals but with EditAction

Tables\Actions\EditAction::make()
    ->form(...)
    ->extraModalFooterActions([
        Tables\Actions\Action::make('customDelete')
            ->requiresConfirmation()
            ->action(fn (Exercise $record) => $record->delete())
            ->cancelParentActions()
    ])

Tables\Actions\EditAction::make()
    ->form(...)
    ->extraModalFooterActions([
        Tables\Actions\Action::make('customDelete')
            ->requiresConfirmation()
            ->action(fn (Exercise $record) => $record->delete())
            ->cancelParentActions()
    ])

Oh my god that's my bad for this one, I'm new to filament and I didn't realise I had to use Tables\Actions\Action. Thank you very much for you help, it worked ! I have one last question, without wanting to disturb you too much. I'd been trying to find a way to do this for a long time too, but I'd finally given up. I was looking for a way to move the checkbox for bulkActions to the top right of the card. I just wanted to know if you thought this was possible and if you had any clues?

hum.. if you can't customize it using css, I think you need to publish and customize this view, but we don't recommend this https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/support/style-customization#publishing-blade-views

I think I can customize it with css because I managed to do it directly with the html editor of my browser by adding position: absolute and some other attributes, but I didn't find how to add this custom css to my app directly

oh I see, and this css file will be here on top of the original one right ? So I just have to add css for the checkbox element in it without other things

LeandroFerreira•2mo ago

yes

Mugi•2mo ago

I'll try that rn thanks for the help, also I assume that I will have to do something like this : .fi-checkbox-input{...} as it is its name ?

LeandroFerreira•2mo ago
