I am learning SharePoint column formatting custom action.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/formatting-syntax-reference#customrowaction
now I want to both use 'setvalue' and 'execute flow' on one button click. Is that possible?
I'm afraid it doesn't appear to be possible to use multiple actions on one button at this time.

One of my columns contain 200 countries. End user should be able to select multiple items from the list.
Sharepoint multiple choice column only allows for one of three choices:
Drop-Down Menu
Radio Buttons
Checkboxes (allow multiple selections)
I'd like to be able to combine the features of Drop-down menu and checkbox.
Is this possible and is there a workaround in Sharepoint designer?
Not looking to do this in InfoPath forms.
Thanks!
You need to put your 200 Countries values into a Custom List, then use a Lookup column rather than a Choice column. With the Lookup column, you can allow multi-selects.
If you can change your field type to another then use type "Lookup column with multiple values". It has good UI experience. But you must create additional list with your 200 countries.
If you want to use only choice type field then I think no, you must add custom control on form.
May be like this:
1. Add script on form.
2. Script will render some jquery autocomplete control (https://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#combobox) or select2 control (https://select2.org/dropdown or https://select2.org/selections) on form load. If no third party controls exists that applied to you then create own control with necessary features. Populate it from out-of-box field options.
3. Hide out-of-box field.
4. Add onChange or onPreSave handlers that copy values from your custom control to out-of-box field.
When form saved it save out-of-box field value to list item.
i'm new to infopath and need to ammend an existing infopath 2010 form. The users only want certain section groups to appear based on the users choice via checkboxes. Currently there are conditional rules in place for each group on the form which are working to hide/show the sections depending on whcih checkbox or checkboxes are selected.(each checkbox relates to a group). There are 19 checkboxes and related groups, the users can select 1 or more groups.
The problem is when users tick the checkbox , there is a delayed reaction seeing as there are so many condtional checks taking place on each click.The users dont like this. they would rather selct all the checkboxes they want , and then click a button to do all the work at once(instead of on each checkbox). So i've been trying to programmatically access the groups from the code behind the buttons to hide/show them depending on which checkboxes are selected. Is it even possible to set the hide/show property of a group in the code behind ?
Thanks in advance for any help
You can't show or hide sections directly with code, but you can affect data sources, which in turn can trigger rules.
See here for updating the data source programatically:

What is the standard practice for adding range selection controls to a ribbon bar in Excel? I'm creating an Add-In and need to enable the user to define a series of ranges. Here's a link to a question with an illustration of what I want Provide a range selection tool/utility to the user in Excel VBA. The answer to the question however only works in the context of a winform. My research suggests you can't use RefEdit controls directly in a ribbon bar. Is that true? If so, what solution do you recommend? I considered creating a button that triggers a popup containing a RefEdit control, but that strikes me as a poor user experience since it involves additional clicks by the user.
Unfortunately, you are correct: the RefEdit control cannot be used within a ribbon. However, you can use a button control to populate an editBox control with the currently selected range, using the editBox's getText dynamic attribute. This will not only place a control within the ribbon that displays the selected range and holds the value there with a single click, but -- if needed -- other automated processes can be executed as well.
In SP 2007, is there a way if I have a list of tasks with standard fields eg: [Title], [Assigned to], [% Complete] etc I could use some form of JavaScript / Calculated Column to insert a button on each row, that when clicked would set the % Complete value for that row to 100%?
Not sure if the above would be possible but you can add a custom action to ECB Menu and invoke JavaScript wherein you can use the List Web Service to perform the update.
Can any one tell me that, Is is possible in wss to have our custom column in a view of list. The way how we are adding edit and delete column in asp.net grid by setting autogenerateedit button property to true. I have to write my custom login on click event of that button. This action is going to be common for all list items.
Thanks

I am afraid that it is not possible out of the Box in SharePoint (WSS / MOSS). If you want to have such an option, you might need to create a Separate page that will have code to do the opertion. Try out the SPGridView and SPDataSource.
Else I would suggest (Recommend) you to have a look at the DataSheetView option provided by the List, it will list List item details as all editable format, like Excel sheet.
