Download attachment from ui button without redirecting

[MaharshiC]

Hi,

I have created the workspace UI action form button. I want to download the attachment from the URL when the user clicks on it but then return to the same workspace form. It is downloading the attachment but then it keeps on loading instead of staying in the same form.

function onClick(g_form) {
var redirectURL='/nav_to.do?uri=sys_attachment.do?sys_id=eb8b1a6f8714e21044e031983cbb35b4';
//top.window.location = redirectURL;
var win = top.window.open(redirectURL, '_blank');
win.focus();
}

Try to remove "_blank" from the code and try: 

function onClick(g_form) {
var redirectURL='/nav_to.do?uri=sys_attachment.do?sys_id=eb8b1a6f8714e21044e031983cbb35b4';
//top.window.location = redirectURL;
var win = top.window.open(redirectURL, '');
win.focus();
}

try this

function onClick(g_form) {
var redirectURL='/nav_to.do?uri=sys_attachment.do?sys_id=eb8b1a6f8714e21044e031983cbb35b4';
//top.window.location = redirectURL;
var win = top.window.open(redirectURL, '_self');
win.focus();
}

OR

function onClick(g_form) {
var redirectURL='/nav_to.do?uri=sys_attachment.do?sys_id=eb8b1a6f8714e21044e031983cbb35b4';
//top.window.location = redirectURL;
open(redirectURL, '_self');
}

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar ,

Thanks for your reply. I tried both the codes but I am facing the same issue. Attachment downloading but the page keeps on loading.

@MaharshiC 

did you try with small file size?
