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

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 think this is not directly possible. From a requirements perspective, my first question would be: What??? Why???

    Assuming that you query that data from somewhere, you could create a link to a site page including the filter settings resulting in that list.

    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.

      I agree with Mike’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.

        I tried this method but not through record type/ database.

        I ran an process model and made an process report for that process model and I was able to fetch all the data by querying data from the process report. But the problem is I have to click on 2 buttons. One for to write the data and another one to open the site in a new Tab

        Where is that data coming from? How does the user query, sort and filter it? That's the important part here.
