Persistent, dynamic buttons

[sendize]

Hello!

I need a custom_id per button per message. I have to parse the custom_id so the response to each message is different. Naturally, I'd want this button to be persistent. There is an example on the repo for a DynamicButton/DynamicItem that fits my use-case but it doesn't seem to be included in the current release (#9700).

Is there an equivalent for this in the current release? Or perhaps other ways to achieve the same thing? I tried add_item per custom_id (like below) in the setup_hook but it seems to be limited to 102 items per view (seems to work though if less than 102). I'm thinking of just adding more views (so a view per 100 items) but I don't think that's the proper approach.

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
    ...

    async def setup_hook(self):
        view = MyView()

        for custom_id in custom_ids:
            view.add_item(MyButton(custom_id))

        self.add_view(view)

    ...

Any help or insight is appreciated!

I would suggest just waiting until dynamic items get released.

Appreciate the response! Any timeline or expected dates you could share for when that gets released?

There are a few PRs blocking release but it should be somewhat soon. I don't like making promises or ETAs though.

Understandable, thanks! Will wait for the new release.

DynamicItems have been released on 2.4.0. Haven't personally tried it since we had to change library due to time constraints, but this would've solved our issue.
