Action to let customer mark something as complete. Right now, the customer just closes the block.

Text = "Done"
Action = Close the modal OR hide drag & drop and show the UI

Open qs:

can we invoke a close modal action when "Done" is clicked
Need to check if airtable supports that

@jesarshah - The modal cannot be closed via the Airtable provided API. If the user is in full screen mode it is possible to close the full screen mode: https://airtable.com/developers/blocks/api/models/Viewport#exitFullscreen Are people normally using it in full screen would this be a useful behavior on done?

What do you mean by "hide" drag and drop? Is the goal to be able to lock edits for a time period? Or?

Hi @rmeritz! Most people are using it in full screen based on the few observations we've done. Based on the API documentation, I think creating the action to exit fullscreen mode would work.

The "hide drag and drop UI" was an alternative that we had considered for the behavior that the done action would invoke. It would essentially lock edits, but I think there are additional usability implications of that. I think that if we can just exit full screen that would be ideal.!
