How can I create custom actions in Django admin?

To create custom actions in Django admin, you need to define a function that performs the action and then register it with the admin class.

Can you show me an example of a custom action?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from django.contrib import admin
from .models import MyModel

@admin.action(description='Mark selected items as published')
def make_published(modeladmin, request, queryset):
    queryset.update(status='published')

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    actions = [make_published]

admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)

What do I need to do to make this action available?

You just need to add the action function to the actions list in your ModelAdmin class, as shown in the example.

Can I add multiple actions?

Yes, you can add multiple actions by including them in the actions list of your ModelAdmin class.
