Remove "Claim" Button from Fiori inbox

I want to remove or at least disable the "Claim" button from the footer of the inbox in SAP Fiori. I already found this question but it only describes removing the approve / reject buttons, which have own properties in the oOptions.

Probably the claim button is located in the buttonList array, but setting it like this has no effect:

sap.ui.define([
  "sap/m/MessageToast",
  "sap/m/Dialog",
  "sap/base/Log",
  "sap/ui/model/Filter",
  "sap/ui/model/FilterOperator",
  "sap/ui/model/Sorter",
  "sap/ui/core/mvc/Controller"
], function (MessageToast, Dialog, Log, Filter, FilterOperator, Sorter, Controller) {
  "use strict";

  return Controller.extend("something.controller.App", {
    onInit: function () {
      this._headerFooterOptions = {
        buttonList: []
      };
      this.setHeaderFooterOptions(this._headerFooterOptions);
      // ...
    }
  });
});

Another possible way could be disabling the button via this.setBtnEnabled(sid, false); but since I don't know the sID of the claim button, I can't check this.

I would really appreciate help with this issue!

EDIT: I have no access to the backend, in case anybody has the same issue but can access the backend, see @MrNajzs answer.

Gateway/Backend solution:

There is an option to hide buttons like Forward, Release, Claim via a gateway/backend class. IMO you should go for this approach, and not by extending the MyInbox UI5 app.

  1. Create a subclass in your gateway based on the class /IWPGW/CL_TGW_FACADE_BWF_V2.

  2. Redefine the method MAP_TASK_ADDITIONAL_FLAGS. For example, if task id = XXX, don't show Forward, Claim, ...

    CALL METHOD SUPER->MAP_TASK_ADDITIONAL_FLAGS
  CHANGING
    IS_TASK = is_task
    .

if is_task-TASK_DEF_ID CS 'XXX'. "your workitem task id
  clear: is_task-TASK_SUPPORTS-FORWARD,
         is_task-TASK_SUPPORTS-CLAIM,
         is_task-TASK_SUPPORTS-TASKOBJECT,
         is_task-TASK_SUPPORTS-RESUBMIT.
ENDIF.

  3. Open the provider implementation in spro in your gateway system (sry for german language)

  4. replace your zclass with the standard class /IWPGW/CL_TGW_FACADE_BWF_V2

  5. Voilà

Frontend solution:

If you have no access to the backend extend the MyInbox via WEBIDE. In your case you can extend the whole controller(S3.controller.js) or implement a UI Controller Hook(S3.controller.js->extHookChangeFooterButtons). For Extensibility of SAP Standard Apps always take a look at SAP Fiori Apps Reference Library

Example (S3.controller.js - UI Controller Hook Implementation):

    extHookChangeFooterButtons: function (oButtonList) {
        var sTaskDefinitionId = this.getView().getBindingContext().getProperty("TaskDefinitionID");
        switch (sTaskDefinitionId) { //Define your condition
        case "XXX":
            oButtonList.aButtonList = []; // No Buttons
            break;
        case "XYZ":
            oButtonList.aButtonList.splice(1,1) //No Claim Button
            break;
        default:
            break;
        }
    }
