VBO in a block display does not work if view also has a page display

Created on 4 July 2020, almost 5 years ago

I created a very simple view on a node content type with 1 vbo field and 1 node field. The view had a block display (to be shown in a dashboard page) and a page display (to be shown in a standalone page). Both views were identical.

Clicking on the "Apply to selected items" button in the block display does not result in a VBO action being executed but causes the view page to be loaded. Expected behaviour would be an error message stating "Please select an action to perform".

Even if you select an oction AND select a row(s) in the block display the same end result occurs: no VBO operation is invoked and instead the page display of the view is displayed.

The vbo action(s) work as expected on the view page display.

Not sure that it matters, but the view block display is placed with another unrelated view block display on a dashboard created using page manager.

Deleting the view page display allowed the block display to function as expected.

I faced a similar issue where VBO was not working properly within a block display as long as a page display was available.

It seems to be a core, where it attempts to set form['#action'] to the page display URL instead of the page where the block is placed.

Applying the patch from this issue https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/1874838 ✨ Allow exposed blocks to use 'Link display' settings Needs work and explicitly setting a custom URL in the block display for the views resolved the issue for us.
