Well, it had to happen sooner or later. This extension has been in production for over a year, with 16 versions under its belt, and there’s never been a need for a hotfix or a rollback. Actually, it’s not even a hotfix in the true sense of the word this time—nothing in the application itself…

You know the struggle. Every workspace has its configuration stored on the backend. But it’s not just one nice, cozy record where you can see everything. That would be too easy. Instead, it’s a scavenger hunt. You have your sys_ux_page_registry here, your sys_ux_page_property over there, some View Rules hidden in another table, and don’t get…

I’ve always wanted the option to create custom components via React and use them in UI Builder. Just imagine having the possibility to compose structure like this: Container— Button— My React component ⭐— Container— — Stylized text— — Custom component created in UI Builder— Highlighted value— Custom component created in UI Framework— Container— — Another…

OK, it’s not a standard update this time. I was cooking 🚀 and it’s something I like a lot! Take a look 👇

If you have been following my recent posts, you know I’ve been spending quite some time trying to tame the Action Bar component. We looked at filtering, splitting, and moving buttons around just to make the workspace look a bit cleaner. But there was one thing that really bugged me. A behavior that just didn’t…

I wanted to avoid DOM manipulation as it can be sometimes hard to distinguish what is a pure instance and what was added afterwards (for example, I don’t anymore know what is vanilla ServiceNow and what’s SN Utils). Anyway, for now there are two places where I am missing OOB buttons: So I created extension-specific…

I’ve just had the chance to use Component Builder on a real project for the first time—not tinkering at home in the evenings, but a real implementation I had to think through from architecture to execution. And buddy, I’ve got a few comments about it.

I would like this post to be the last one regarding the UIB Extension for a long period of time. I don’t want to go far beyond the UIB focus. There are so many things I can implement now that the extension is in the side panel. So many things 🙂 Anyway, v1.0.13 is out.…

I think you can often tell whether someone built (coded) something just externally for others, or whether they actually use their own product. I use my own extension almost every day, so I keep thinking about it a lot. And just like I was annoyed by all the clicking in UI Builder (which is why…

There is one thing that frustrates me every day: searching for Flows. You literally need to: Omg 🫠 I added the possibility to search for Flows from the extension right away. I know it’s not related to the UI Builder, but while the button is there, it made sense to me to implement the search…
