Does nothing at present....

get it to switch a relay, controlling the gripper function then ..
route the tilt control through the normally closed contacts and the gripper control through the normally open contacts ... when the relay is energised it'll disconnect the tilt function and engage the gripper's function control - job done

I used my horn button on lil' jake to control my grab function .. with a double acting switch (basically the same thing/idea) one way is horn/other way is a 6x2 diverter to switch from crowd to grab - didn't have a spare button to use and just leave it switched to the 6x2

Sounds like the installer can’t be arsed making it happen. In your user manual what does it say that button is for? It’ll be fitted to perform a function in certain markets (quick hitch etc) - if you can find which fuse that should control then you can pick up a feed from there.

Thankyou for all the suggestions, I do get the distinct impression that health and safety is an excuse, I made it very clear when speccing the tilty i wanted the button on the joystick, it's in the email chains, and I explained to the installer exactly how I wanted it set up. I've got a 7 day newborn baby that I'm currently in the midst of dealing with - so my mind is very much on other things!!

I will make these suggestions and see if can get anywhere with someone higher up the chain...

or alternatively disconnect it from it's current circuit in the boot/arm rest - run a feed to it and thence to a relay, from the switch (as previous suggestion) - run the feed to the 'wiper' contact on the relay's base and feeds from there to the tilt (normally closed pole)/gripper (normally open pole) controller's connections - job done

If this is supposed to be a demo model of a new flagship product, I’d expect them to put a bit more effort into the install tbh.
