Download attachment from the UI action

[Nag9]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to create a link in ritm form to download a file. When the user clicks on the link, it should download a file, and the form should stay on the same page.

For this, I created a UI action for the ritm table with the below code.

onclick -confirmDownload()

script:

function confirmDownload() 

var URL = 'nav_to.do?uri=sys_attachment.do?sys_id=aec12b1b970321100408bde3f153affb';

var down = confirm("Do you want to download the file?');

     alert(down);

if (down) 

g_navigation.openPopup(URL);

action.setRedirectURL(url);

    }

}

It's working as expected, but the issue is that it's redirecting to some other page. If you remove the if condition, the file will not be downloaded when the user clicks on the UI action.

On clicking on the UI action, a file should be downloaded with specific fields data as in excel format(like export excel) and it should stay on the same page.

Anyone help me on this?

@asifnoor - can you look this thread once

Thanks

Awesome Ankur, its working.

without action object - if I click the link file is not downloading.

With action object - it is working perfectly.

Here is the code:

function confirmDownload() {
var URL = '/sys_attachment.do?sys_id=e33c48b32f4321108bc8ad6df699b631';
var down = confirm("Do you want to download the file?");
if (down == true)
g_navigation.open(URL, '_blank');
}

Is this List v2 Compatible that should be enabled in the form?

@Nag9 

you are doing this in native view right?

it should work fine.

Can you share your latest script and UI action configuration screenshot along with the form where you are testing this?

Hi Ankur, 

There is confusion about the requirement. I got clarity today.

The UI action should fetch the fields or variable data from the form to Excel once the user clicks the link and then downloads it.

How can we do that
