how to open a new tab when you click a UI Action button?

[Faraz2]

here is script i am using in my UI Action:

var change = new GlideRecord("change_request");
change.initialize();
change.short_description = current.short_description; 
change.description = current.description;
change.cmdb_ci = current.cmdb_ci;
change.priority = current.priority;
change.assigned_to = current.assigned_to;
var changesysID = change.insert();
gs.addInfoMessage("Change " + change.number + " created");
action.setRedirectURL(change);
action.setReturnURL(current);

i am trying to open a new tab when i click on a UI Action button.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Set your UI action to client and try the following:

g_navigation.open("URL", "_blank"); //copy the url of the page you want to open in new tab

Hi Faraz,

You can use anchor tag where in href you can provide your link and and in the target value you can pass _blank. This will help you open a new window with the click of your UI action.
