Hide custom button in ribbon from a rule

[Alexander Bautz]

I got this question:

Hello –
In your trigger section, there is the ability to hide the Edit button in the ribbon. Is there a way to hide a Custom Action button in the ribbon?

Thanks.
Christine

This can be done by adding a function to the Custom JS section (in the CSS and JS tab) like this:
(This example will hide the attach file button)

function hideCustomButton(){
	spjs.$("#Ribbon\\.ListForm\\.Edit\\.Actions\\.AttachFile-Large").hide();
}

Then you add this function name to the “Run these functions / trigger these rules” field in the rule.

To find the ID of the custom button in your ribbon, use the developer tools (hit F12) and inspect the button.

If the ID contains a period, you must escape it like in the example snippet above.
