Is it possible to show ribbon button on home grid based on the result of async operation?

Question

All materials I found state that it is possible and Dataverse will itself manage returned Promise. But homepage grid doesn't show the button even if I leave "return true" at the function beginning. It looks like to be fast enough, so I guess it's not 10 seconds limit hit. The button doesn't show especially when there are selected records.

I use typescript and registered function on enable rule via Ribbon Workbench. Here's my code:

    public static async showCustomButton(selectedControlSelectedItemIds: string[]): Promise<boolean> {

        try {
            if (!selectedControlSelectedItemIds?.length) {
                return false;
            }

            var entityName = "timesheet";
            var entityIdName = "timesheetid";
            var submittedStatus = 1;

            const response = await Xrm.WebApi.retrieveMultipleRecords<{ statuscode?: number }>(
                entityName,
                `?$select=statuscode&$filter=${selectedControlSelectedItemIds.map(id => `${entityIdName} eq '${id.replace(/[{}]/g, "").trim()}'`).join(" or ")}`
            );

            if (response.entities.length !== selectedControlSelectedItemIds.length) {
                return false;
            }

            const allMatch = response.entities.every(e => e.statuscode === submittedStatus);

            if (!allMatch) {
                return false;
            }

            return true;
        }
        catch {
            return false;
        }
    }

Naive question, have you tried Display rule instead of Enable rule ? — Arun Vinoth PrecogTechnologies

@ArunVinothPrecogTechnologies i don't see possibility of using custom function in display rules. I'll need to check user role in future too, so I guess I need exactly function — Mark Onishchenko

It was necessary to add "SelectionCountRule" with "Minimum = 1" to the enable rules
