UI action to redirect to new tab URL

[JJG]

Hello, 

I have a UI action that redirects to a URL in a new tab, but it does not seem to be working. When I click it, nothing happens, is my code wrong? I want the sys_id of the current record to be attached to the end of the new tab URL. (See pics below)

Progress!  Think you're missing the g_form in front of your getUniqueValue() now, below is an example of one I have working in my instance:

function portal(){
var sys_id = g_form.getUniqueValue();
var url = '/sp?id=ticket&table=sc_req_item&sys_id=' + sys_id;
g_navigation.openPopup(url);
}

Hopefully this helps but if it's not working for you still let me know...
