Reference Icon click open in new window

[#1]

Hi,

does anyone know how to make the reference icon open record in a new window when it is clicked on? Currently when hovered over, it pops up the record, and when clicked on opens the record in the same window.

Unfortunately this loses the record the user is working on. For example we have a reference field for affected contact. The reference icon allows you to preview the affected contact while on the incident record form. Sometimes there is a need to add a location to the affected contact and when you click the icon you are taken away from the incident record to the contact record form. It would be nice to open the contact record in a new window so you don't lose what you are doing on the incident record.

Cheers,

Ben

As an alternative you could create a new field to be displayed on the form in place of the reference field. If you made this new form element of the type URL you could set its default value to dynamically point to the whichever referenced record associated with the current record opened in the form. When clicking on the URL field you will see the related list

After updating to Berlin, this property was randomly set to False in our Test environment. Setting it to True resolved the issue. Thanks!
