In Lightning, the Recently Viewed list view for a custom object has New and Import buttons by default:

Default list view buttons

I would like to override or hide the Import button since our custom object has a custom import process.

The override works fine for the New button as explained here: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=assign_action_overrides.htm&type=5

But the same process doesn't work for the Import button due to the following:

  • Import does not appear in the list of actions
    I was able to get around that by hacking the Setup URL (edit the New action and replace New by Import in the URL)
  • The editor only shows the Classic override option
    Not the Lightning and Mobile ones available for the New action enter image description here
  • But most importantly, the Classic override does not work
    Nothing happens when I click the modified Import button. So at least it disables the default behavior -- which is something I guess -- but I would really like to attach my own. Even when I select the exact same Visualforce page that I use successfully for the New button nothing happens when it Import is clicked. Nothing in the log either

Any tips would be much appreciated!

I don't think that Import Button can be disabled from Lightning Page layout. You can achieve this by revoking permission for particular user on concerned object.

  • Thanks @Adamo but I don't think there is a specific permission for Import. You can most likely remove the button by removing Create permission -- but I actually want users to be able to create new records -- just not through the standard Import wizard Jul 14, 2019 at 22:13
