Hi Champ,

I am using document download in my portal application. When user clicking the link, it usually flickers and download it in a next tab and comes back to main page. 

Can we somehow stop this flickering behavior?

Regards,

Ghanashyam

It's difficult for me to record it ; but if you do a small poc use document download link in any interface, it will behave the same way. It open a new blank window in the same browser, download the document and automatically comes back to the main window.

Below is the code snippet:

a!richTextIcon(
icon: "download",
link: a!documentDownloadLink(
document: cons!document
),
color: "NEGATIVE"
)

I understand. Is this the "flickering" you mentioned? Appian does not support to customize this behaviour in any way. And AFAIK this specific behaviour also depends on the browser used. Did you try different browsers?
