I want to add buttons that trigger events in shotgun. For example, adding a button inside a field to update

other fields in the same row? Is this possible?

  Shani,

  It isn't currently possible to add buttons into the UI, though related to your question in another post, you can add ActionMenuItems that can use a protocol handler to launch a local python script:
