Assignment Action opens both Workspace tab and UI16 browser tab when creating a new record

Hi everyone,

I'm working on an Assignment Action in  Asset Workspace  on a field decorator and I'm trying to open a new record when the action is clicked.

I'm using the following client script:

 
function onClick() {
     g_aw.openRecord('core_company', '-1');
}
 

The record opens successfully, but the behavior is not what I expect:

  • A new tab is opened inside the Workspace
  • A new browser tab is also opened in classic UI16 Screenshot 2026-09-23 131629.png

My goal is to open the record only in the Workspace tab and prevent the UI16 browser tab from being created.

Has anyone encountered this issue or found a way to open a new record exclusively within Workspace?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi @GabrielL4893419 , 
You can try this script:

function onClick() {
    open('/now/assetworkspace/record/core_company/-1', "_self");
}

Hope this helps!
