Request for 2 new Bulk Actions hooks

[foomagoo]

I need 2 hooks added to the core in order to allow me to edit the bulk action dropdown in the wp_list_table class. Specifically for the plugins page. My plugin uses ajax right now to manipulate those items but a core hook would be better. I've attached 2 patch files with the hooks I would like added. The patches are for wp-admin/includes/class-wp-list-table.php and wp-admin/includes/class-wp-plugins-list-table.php

Of note is the odd filter in ​WP_List_Table::bulk_actions().

Related: #16031, #12732, #18127.

That hook doesn't allow you to add to the drop down list. Only remove from it. I need to add options to the bulk actions drop down. My plugin currently uses jQuery to do it but that can get broken pretty easily.

Sounds like a duplicate of #16031.

It appears that the request for after_bulk_actions_dropdown is not covered by #16301 entirely. This would fire after the display of actions in the select menu.

The filter request on bulk actions is a duplicate of #16301. ​comment:25 on that ticket explains some of the decision to restrict to remove only at the time. I would recommend adding comments on that ticket related to the bulk actions filter.

It's also worth noting that there are currently no actions in class-wp-list-table.php. These have been implemented more in the extensions of that class.

The patch itself looks fine, its 1 line.

At some point there simply needs to be a decision about whether new actions should be added to the parent, or whether actions should be done in the extensions that people make of it.

There isn't really a fully-formed request outlined in this ticket. If the overall intent is to add bulk actions to existing core list tables, let's keep that discussion over in #16031.

Closing as wontfix.
