Umbraco Entity Create Option Action

This adds custom creation workflows to Umbraco's backoffice by letting you define multiple ways to create an entity. When a user clicks "Create," they see your custom options in a dialog instead of just the default behavior. You can either execute custom logic directly, open a modal for more input, or navigate to a specialized creation view. The skill pulls from official Umbraco docs and generates both the manifest and action class. It's targeted at scenarios where different user roles or content types need different creation paths, like creating a page from a template versus from scratch. Straightforward extension point if you're building workflows beyond Umbraco's stock creation flow.

Umbraco Entity Create Option Action

What is it?

Entity Create Option Actions add customizable options when creating entities. These options appear in a create options dialog when the "Create" entity action is selected, allowing users to choose between different creation methods or paths. This enables extensibility where other developers can add their own creation options to existing workflows.
