Hi,
I am using 'Navigation(Subsections)' Pattern here and put this interface on the site.
So when user come to the site, by default workspace subsection is displayed. Now if user select 'My time' subsection, a grid is displayed and on clicking on link under the name column summary is showed but when user return backs, it redirects to the default 'Workspace' subsection instead by 'My time' subsection. Same is happening if I use record action from the grid.
I also tried by putting the interface in process model and created rule inputs 'activeSubNavSection', 'activeSubNavSubsection' and passed to the PM but to no avail.

Appian interfaces do not persist state. The only way to solve this, is by either opening the record in a second tab, or by embedding the record UI as a child.

"Only"?
If someone is desperate to state-persist in a SAIL interface, and up to the technical challenge (note it's not THAT big of a challenge to do this), it's definitely possible to make each tab click write a state-persistence entry to a specialized DB table, which is queried and referenced each time that site interface is loaded.
You are right, but before going that route and making it the default in ALL applications at the client, I recommend to think about alternatives.
Yes I agree, especially for an in-use application where there are a large handful of existing sites used by various users, it would be a lot of work to retrofit for universal use. That's the reason I haven't gone that route (yet) on my current production system - however if I'd been involved in the design from the start, I would probably have opted for implementation of this (designed to be relatively portable) originally.
