Open UI action in new tab

[Reddy]

Hello,

I have added a UI action button named "Create Change" on the catalog task table. When a user clicks on this button, it creates a change request and redirects to the new change request. However, I would like the new change request to open in a new tab.

I tried  window.open(url, '_blank'); & top.window.open(url, '_blank'); but it's not working.

window.open(url, '_blank');

To do so, your UI action needs to be Client UI action. window.open would only work in a client UI action.

@SanjivMeher Thank you for you response.

I tried it's not working. Can you help me with the script??

Here is a perfect example in the thread. Put you record creation script in a script include and then use GlideAjax to call it from UI action and then use window.open or the method provided in the thread to open in a new tab.
