How to avoid the alert box "Are you sure you want to leave?" using startProcessLink

Question

Hi there! 
 I am using startProcessLink function on my Site interface in a grid. I want to suppress the alert box which says "Are you sure you want to leave?" 
 I know, this is out of the box functionality. However, is there any way that I can avoid this? 
 Thank you, 
 Omkar

As far as I know there is no solution to avoid the alert out of the box and also no javascript is supported along with SAIL to add work around. But there can be work around on how you implement the solution - 
 
Use submit link on customer id which navigates to next form to add product details and have back link or button to navigate to customer list. 
 
I hope this helps.

Hi Omkar, That is related to your browser. You cannot avoid it using appian. Do you really want to avoid that or Do you feel its better to avoid that? If you really want to avoid that popup you might have to implement the solution in other way. Thanks, Yeswanth.

As far as I know, the only time you should get the 'Are you sure you want to leave?' prompt is when Appian detects unsaved user-entered data on the form. I would suggest you make sure there is no unsaved data on the form before enabling the Start Process Links.
