Hope we are allowed to set an action on a choice component soon.

I assume currently everyone is creating lists acting as choice components to allow users to trigger actions when clicking or changing a choice.

but that cancels involves so much more work and cancels out the nice layout of the choice component.

> Would be nice to have an action attached to a choice component. we a choice is selected, there is a set column action that internally updates the column with the value, would be great if we could create a custom action to add to this single action for example: show notification, set column in a relation etc…

Having duplicate requests will split the votes, which will make it less likely to get to the top of the queue 🙂

I’ll close this one.
