## About this task

You can add two types of functions to a button on a mobile pop-up card, configurable functions and predefined functions.

Predefined functions have dedicated functionality, purpose built for mobile pop-ups. The following predefined functions are available:

- Cancel: Dismisses the pop-up without performing any additional action.
- Complete: Submits or proceeds with the original function from which the pop-up was triggered.
