Luxury Buttons — User guide

What this plugin does

Luxury Buttons replaces long Redmine forms with focused buttons. Each button opens only the fields needed for a specific step, so users stay inside the workflow instead of thinking about every field.

Use it to guide support agents, managers and technicians through repeatable processes without losing flexibility.

Getting Started

• In Administration, go to Issue buttons.
• Click Add button.
• Enter a name and optionally add an icon, description, and instruction.
• Choose the button type based on its purpose.

Defining Button Actions

• Select the fields that should be displayed when the button is clicked.
• Use Show field to let the user edit the field manually, or Set value to fill it automatically.
• You can make any field required.

Button Display Conditions

• Restrict visibility by project, tracker, and current issue status.
• Restrict by role, assignee, author, or custom field values.

Button Checklists
