Dashboard button with confirm

[Colin Law]

Is there a simple way of getting an Ok/Cancel confirm dialog upon clicking a dashboard button node?  I expected to find something searching here, the flows or google but have not come up with anything.

You can use a ui_notification node configured as an OK/Cancel Dialog.

Brilliant, thanks NIck. Somehow I had missed the existence of that node.

Hi Colin,

That is indeed a very useful node. You can also format the text in the dialog as HTML, which can be quite handy (e.g. to ask confirmation for multiple things)...

See https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dashboard/issues/253
