I need to open an interface/site in a new tab by passing the data from the current tab

Question

I am in a site and I need to open an interface/site in a new Tab, and I need to pass more than 500 items in a List of Text format to the new Tab site

In that case you should probably figure out a solution where you write those entries to a DB table on the original interface, and just pass a unique key from your first interface to your second (via url parameters), then when the second one loads, query the database for values matching that unique key.

I agree with Mike&rsquo;s suggestion -

Store the data temporarily (e.g., DB or Appian Record).

Pass only the ID via URL.

Fetch the full data in the new interface using the ID.

You could try a!urlForSite(), and wrap yourtext list items in a JSON string, but I'm not sure whether you'd run into a URL Parameter size limit if trying that approach.

Hi vijayp6380 , One workaround is to create a record and configure a related action. While this isn't the recommended or ideal approach, it can fulfill your requirement by allowing you to pass parameters and launch the interface in a new tab.
