Thank you Mayur,

This has worked perfectly fro me.

My requirement was to redirect to an external URL in a new tab via a UI Action.   The URL was being stored within a field on the form.

For others trying to replicate this functionality please see the below:

Client (tick box): true

Onclick: clicked()

Script:

//function must include the value added to the Onclick field as above

function clicked(){

//grab the value of the field containing the url

// ***Note*** current. syntax will not work with Client (tick box) = true

  var uplink = g_form.getValue('u_upload_link');

//set the redirect to the variable above

  window.open(uplink);

}

Hi Manoj,

Window is blocked for scoped application. Please go through the below blog for more info.

Hi Manoj,

Instead of writing window.open(URL);

use

window.location=URL;

Please mark correct/Helpful if it helps.

Thanks,
