Hi team,

I’d like to implement a **“more options” menu** similar to the one shown in the image below:

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/5/857fc9cdee70a1648e2f3f56195f4191f0f40a43.png)

I initially tried using a **popup** , but since this is being used **inside a Flex Repeater** , it doesn’t behave as expected.

Could you please suggest an alternative way to achieve this kind of functionality (e.g., showing Export, Print, etc.) that works properly inside a subview of a Flex Repeater?

Thanks in advance!

Could you post your popup configuration? Also, your page config could also be useful.

One option: In the button's `onActionPerformed` event, add this `self.requestContextMenu()` This will trigger a contextMenu _dropdown_.

Make sure to configure your contextMenu on the component under `META`
