Context Menu Separators in Remote Plugin

The local plugin's plugin.xml allowed the addition of separators in context menus with:

<com.vmware.actionsfw.ActionMenuItemSpec>

  <type>separator</type>

</com.vmware.actionsfw.ActionMenuItemSpec>

Does the remote plugin's plugin.json have an equivalent?

                    <com.vmware.actionsfw.ActionMenuItemSpec>
                        <type>separator</type>
                    </com.vmware.actionsfw.ActionMenuItemSpec>

Hi,

 

Currently, it is not possible to define action separators for remote plugins.

Could you share how many actions does your plugin have and why does it require the use of separators?

We appreciate any feedback and will consider including this functionality.

 

Best Regards,

Denis

Please see the attached screenshot for an example of our use of separators in our most recent local plugin.

Our plugin adds between 2-8 context menu options to different entities. We've found separators to be very useful in visually grouping related options together, making it easier for our users to find what they're looking for. We would very much like this functionality in the remote plugin.

Thanks!
