Has anyone found a clever way (via javascript etc) of hiding the approval actions from the drop down options selector on the Worklist webpart?

We show users their list of tasks to action but we want them 'Always' to open the form to view it first before selecting 'approval etc' but users keep accidentally selecting the approval options from the dropdown 'before' opening the form and that closes the worklist item and so thisis causing a major issue in us being able to use tasks inside a workflow.

I have out the webpart into a view so that I can customise it but there are no options for deselcting these options :-(

Hi JulieBird,

Hiding workflow actions can be done via the designer (K2 Studio or web designer)

If you're using K2 Five designer, see this:

https://community.k2.com/t5/K2-Five/Hide-actions-in-K2-Worklist-Control/td-p/104221

If you're on previous versions:

Web designer, deselect 'Allow user to action the task without completing the form' :

K2 Studio, deselect 'Make the action available without opening the work item':
