NocoDB: 0.255.0 : Introducing Button Field

# 🚀 [NocoDB](https://nocodb.com) : Feature Release # 🚀 NocoDB v0.255.0 - Introducing New Field Type : Button 🎉 🥁 🥁 Introducing the new field type **Button**, designed to enhance interactivity and automation by utilising data from the current row. This Button field type allows you to wire up the execution to predefined action such as triggering a webhook/API or opening a custom URL or launching a pre-filled NocoDB form. With this, you can dynamically pass record data, enabling highly tailored and context-aware interactions. **Key Features**: 🪝 **Trigger Webhook/API**: Automate workflows by configuring buttons to trigger custom webhooks. Send data from the current record to external applications or automation services like n8n/zapier (invoking their incoming webhooks) 🔗 **Dynamic URL Generation**: Configure buttons to open custom URLs, which can be either static or dynamically generated based on the data in the current record. 📝 **Launch Pre-Filled Forms**: Easily set up buttons to open pre-filled NocoDB forms, streamlining data entry and reducing repetitive tasks. 🎨 **Customisable Appearance**: Tailor the button’s text, colour, and icon to fit your specific needs, ensuring consistency and visual appeal within your table. 🧮 **Formula Integration**: Leverage NocoDB's formula editor to create dynamic URLs and payloads, making your buttons even more powerful and responsive to changing data. Do you have a specific custom trigger action for buttons on your wish list for NocoDB?

The migration process will run in the background. Please **note that this release doesn’t initiate any clean up of unreferenced files**. Additionally, we are introducing the [NC_ATTACHMENT_RETENTION_DAYS](https://docs.nocodb.com/getting-started/self-hosted/environment-variables/#storage) configuration for future releases. If this value is set to 0, it will prevent the cleanup of any stale / unreferenced attachments. Otherwise, unreferenced attachments will be removed from the disk after the specified number of days. **Team NocoDB** ------------------------------- - [**🐛 Type: Bug**] 🐛 Bug: Docker with MS SQL init db error [#9220](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/9220) - [**🐛 Type: Bug**] 🐛 Bug: upload banner image fails [#9218](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/9218) - [**🐛 Type: Bug**] 🐛 Bug: Upload via URL bug [#9217](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/9217) - [**🔦 Type: Feature**] 🔦 Feature: Live refresh on data tables [#9209](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/9209) - [**🐛 Type: Bug**] 🐛 Bug: XMinioInvalidObjectName [#9203](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/9203) - [**🔦 Type: Feature**] 🔦 Feature: allow self-signed certificate for Minio (nocodb Error: self-signed certificate) [#9201](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/9201) - [**🐛 Type: Bug**] 🐛 Bug: Two `New Record` btn in mobile grid view & table overflow in mobile groupBy view [#9198](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/9198) - [**🔦 Type: Feature**] 🔦 Feature: Is there any way to increase the session duration?
