Change List Actions as Buttons instead of Dropdown selectable.

[vijaykumarLims]

Django Admin is pretty solid but the Change List actions as drop down is very time consuming. I have around 15 actions on a page and every time I have to perform an action, I have to

1. Click dropdown
2. Scroll through the list of actions
3. Select the action
4. Click Go.
   Too much for just one operation that could have been a button.
   There should be an option to toggle between dropdown and buttons. I know I can make modifications to my change list template but that would mean hardcoding the buttons for specific Admin. We need something that is universal.

Not necessarily. I can envision a couple different ways to do this dynamically. (The precise implementation would be dependent upon what the conditions are for each button to be rendered.)

Whether or not it’s something that can be generalized as a third-party package might be worth investigating. (See django-admin-extra-buttons · PyPI as one sample implementation.)
