How to programmatically select active tab in UI builder

[Arch Henderson]

I'm trying to select a different tab in my Tab Set component, but I cannot find a way to do so. 

The component documentation mentions a 'Select tab index' property, but that property does not seem to exist or is not shown in the configuration panel. There has to be a way to select the active tab, right?

There is a menu option beside Add button. On click of that, you would see an option to changes Tab Set to Viewport tabs as shown below:

After that, the configuration panel will have different options as show below, including "Selected tab index" option, which can be programmatically set to change tabs:

Hope that helps!

What if I dont want to use sub pages? I've found passing data into the page from the parent page to be either impossible or completely undocumented. Ie, how can I get a subpage/viewport tab to read Url parameters?

Its impossible to do with the new Tabs sidebar as well.  I want to pass the table/sys_id from my current record into a tab and I can't figure it out.  It is documented that it wouldn't be available --- but why.  Why would I have a sidebar on a record page if I can't reference the existing record?  #frustrated
