Hello,

Why does Splunk drilldown open two tabs instead of one?
Here's my setting:
Image => Drilldown settings => On click link to custom URL => put URL
When I clicked it opened two tabs

If found old post, but nobody answered.   Please help.  Thanks

Hello @gcusello , 
Here's the screenshot and steps
Thank you in advance

On Dashboard Studio 
1) Put an icon and go to configuration

2) On configuration, I set a link to a second dashboard (classicdashboard)

/splunk/app/test_app/classicdashboard?form.student_token=$student_token$

 

3) Go to View mode and click the Icon
It opened 2 tabs, instead of only 1

Hi @LearningGuy on the step 2, pls uncheck the "Open in new tab". sometimes this creates the 2 tabs. 

thanks.

Hi @inventsekar ,

If I uncheck open in new tab, it will not open a new tab and use the current tab.
My goal is to open a new tab, but only one, not two.   Thank you
