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();
}

@MaharshiC 

try this

Also did you check in different browsers? is auto download enabled in browser?

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

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
