SNOW-CSA UI, Navigation and Forms Practice Question
An administrator needs to create a UI action that appears on the form context menu for the Incident table, but only when the record is in 'In Progress' state. Which configuration is required?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse UI actions with UI policies or ACLs, leading candidates to select options that control field behavior or security instead of the direct condition field on the UI action itself.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set the condition on the UI action to 'current.state == 2'
UI actions can have a condition field that evaluates server-side JavaScript. Setting the condition to 'current.state == 2' ensures the UI action appears only when the Incident record's state field equals the 'In Progress' value (typically 2 in the default state model). This is the standard, built-in mechanism for controlling UI action visibility based on record data.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create a UI policy that changes the form when state is 'In Progress'
Why it's wrong here
UI policy does not control UI action appearance.
- ✗
Write an ACL on the UI action table
Why it's wrong here
ACL can control execution but not visibility on form.
- ✓
Set the condition on the UI action to 'current.state == 2'
Why this is correct
Condition script on UI action shows/hides it based on state.
- ✗
Assign the UI action to a role that only users in this state have
Why it's wrong here
Role assignment is not state-based.
